Did you know that you can use the Ninja Creami machine to make breakfast? Well, you can! I’ll show you how to turn simple ingredients like oatmeal and yogurt into the best, creamy, delicious breakfast sweet treat using your Ninja Creami ice cream maker! Yes…you read that right…it’s ice cream made out of yogurt and oatmeal!
Usually when you think of making traditional ice cream, you don’t think of making breakfast ice cream. But, why not? Using oatmeal and yogurt in the recipe is a healthier alternative to regular ice cream made with a lot of cream and sugar. The combination of the yogurt mixed with the oatmeal helps to make the ice cream thick and creamy with just the right amount of tang (from the yogurt). Adding in peaches as mix-ins boosts the overall peach flavor without being overwhelming.
You’ll notice that I did not add any instant pudding mix, cream cheese, or gums like guar gum for this recipe. That’s because you simply don’t need it. Both the oatmeal and the yogurt help to thicken up the ice cream while creating a creamy texture. I’ve found that just adding yogurt to a recipe can help make it super thick and creamy.
For this recipe, it’s important to follow the instructions as written. You will need to “cook” the instant oatmeal before adding it to the base, but you will not follow the exact instructions on the oatmeal packets. This recipe uses a little extra water than the packaging calls for.
Also, this recipe creates a significant hump in the middle of the ice cream that will need to be removed before processing. Through a recommendation in my Ninja Creami Facebook group, I have started melting down the hump with a bag of hot water. It works really well and really fast. All you do is fill a ziplock with hot water and set it on top of the hump for about 5 minutes and then scrape the rest of the hump down with a spoon.
Tips for making Ninja Creami Peaches and Cream Oatmeal Frozen Yogurt Recipe:
Technically, yes. But we aren’t following the exact directions on the packaging. For the recipe, you will need to “cook” the instant oatmeal in hot water before adding it to the other base ingredients. But, instead of using ⅓ cup of water per packet, we are using ½ cup of water per package.
Quaker instant oatmeal packets (peaches and cream flavored) are used in the recipe. Do not use traditional oatmeal that needs to be cooked for this recipe. You can use any brand, just make sure it’s instant. Once combined with the hot water, the final volume of oatmeal/water mixture should be about 10-11 fluid ounces or about 1⅓ cups.
Any vanilla flavored yogurt can be used. Pick a yogurt that you like the taste of as you will be able to taste it in the ice cream. If you like sweeter yogurt, use that. If you like yogurt that is a bit more tart, use that. You can even use yogurt that has additional peach flavors added to it. You can even use plain yogurt or plain Greek yogurt. If you use plain yogurt, you can add a little vanilla extract to add to the vanilla flavor.
It depends. If you like your frozen yogurt with a little extra sweetness, then add sugar or a sugar substitute like allulose, monk fruit sweetener, or even maple syrup. But, if you are watching your sugar intake and like the taste of yogurt, then you don’t need to add any sweeteners. I would recommend tasting the oatmeal and yogurt mixture before freezing it. You should be able to determine if it needs to be sweeter pretty easily.

Ingredients substitutions for making Ninja Creami Peaches and Cream Oatmeal Frozen Yogurt:
The full ingredient list is at the bottom of this post in the recipe card.
- Instant Oatmeal( Use 2 1.05 individual serving packages.) – Any flavor or brand of oatmeal can be used. Be sure to use instant oatmeal. Once combined with the hot water, the final volume of oatmeal/water mixture should be about 10-11 fluid ounces or about 1⅓ cups.
- Yogurt– Any yogurt should work for this recipe. You can use plain yogurt, , vanilla or even switch it up and use peach flavored for this recipe.
- Milk– Whole milk- If you prefer, you can use a lower fat milk or milk alternative like unsweetened almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk, or cashew milk. The lower the fat content, the more likely the ice cream is to become icy.
- Canned Peaches- Canned peaches in 100% juice were used for this recipe. You can use frozen or fresh fruit for this recipe if you would prefer. However, frozen fruit will need to be thawed before using and if you are using fresh peaches, make sure that it is ripe and sweet before using.
Directions for making Ninja Creami Peaches and Cream Oatmeal Frozen Yogurt:
Directions for Making the Ice Cream Mixture
- Pour 2 packages of peaches and cream instant oatmeal into a small bowl and add the hot water. Allow the oatmeal to set up and cool for about 10 minutes.
- Once the oatmeal has cooled, pour into a small blender and add the yogurt, and whole milk. Blend until all ingredients are well combined. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container.
- Freeze on a level surface for 24 hours. Your freezer should be between 9 and -7 degrees Fahrenheit.
Directions for Processing the Ice Cream Mixture
- After 24 hours, remove the pint container from the freezer.
- There will likely be a big bump in the middle of the ice cream. To remove the bump either place a ziplock bag of hot water on the bump to melt it (for about 5 minutes) and then scrape it so the top is flat, or use a warm spoon or vegetable peeler to scrape the bump down. Place the pint container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami and then process on “Ice Cream.”
- If the ice cream is dry or crumbly looking (like sand), pour in a tablespoon or two of the reserved peach juice and then re-spin. If the ice cream looks like little balls of ice cream, respin without adding liquid. You may have to repeat this process a couple of times.***Only respin or add juice if the ice cream is really dry and crumbly. You will be adding peaches for the mix-ins and they already add a lot of moisture which will make the ice cream creamier.
- Dig a well down the center and add the peach slices. Process on mix-ins.
- Remove the pint from the machine and enjoy!

Hi there… is this considered 1 pint = 2 servings? Because 2 packages of oatmeal are 320 calories by themselves, not even counting the cream..?
Lauren Cardona says
The nutrition info is for the full pint. I just double checked all of the nutrition info for the ingredients. According to Quaker Oats, the peaches and cream oatmeal packets are 110 calories each. The heavy cream powder nutrition info must have changed a little (maybe the formula that is used to make the product has been slightly modified) since I posted this recipe. Instead of 40 calories or tablespoon, it is now 45 calories. So, the updated calories per pint are 299. Here’s the link to the nutrition info for the oatmeal. https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/instant-oatmeal/peaches-and-cream
