Ingredients
-
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
-
2 large eggs
-
¼ cup pure maple syrup or honey
-
2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
-
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
-
1 ½ cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
-
Optional toppings: sliced almonds, chopped pecans, extra berries, honey, or yogurt
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
-
In a large bowl, mix rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until evenly combined.
-
Gently fold in the mixed berries, being careful not to crush them.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Add optional toppings if desired.
-
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
-
Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with honey, yogurt, or a splash of milk.
Notes
Use rolled oats for the best texture—instant oats will make it too soft. Frozen berries work great; no need to thaw them before baking. To make it dairy-free, substitute almond, oat, or coconut milk and use coconut oil instead of butter. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze individual portions for a quick breakfast anytime.
