Method: Baked
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups milk
2 cups mixed berries, fresh or frozen

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9×9 baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients; rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt, and stir to combine, then set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine all of the wet ingredients; maple syrup, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and milk, and then whisk until well combined.
Add the wet mixture to the large bowl with the dry mixture and stir until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the baking dish, spreading it out evenly, and then scatter the berries in the baking dish, pressing them down slightly to submerge them in the batter and ensuring they are evenly distributed. (If using frozen strawberries, cut them in half lengthwise to ensure they cook more evenly.)
Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown.
Once baked, remove the oatmeal from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes to set. Then slice and serve with toppings of your choice.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for 3 months.
