Baked Oatmeal with Berries

Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1.5 cups milk (whole or 2%)
• 2 whole eggs
• ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
• 1.5 cups fresh or frozen berries
• 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

1. 1

   Set the oven to 375°F and wait until the indicator light tells you it has finished preheating, about 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the rolled oats, milk, eggs, and maple syrup to a large mixing bowl in that order.

3. 3

   Whisk all the ingredients together with a fork until the eggs are fully broken up and the mixture is uniform with no white egg streaks visible, about 30 seconds.

4. 4

   Fold in the berries by gently stirring them into the oat mixture with a rubber spatula until they are scattered evenly throughout.

5. 5

   Rub the butter all around the inside of an 8×8-inch baking dish so it coats the bottom and sides completely, about 30 seconds.

6. 6

   Pour the oat mixture into the buttered baking dish and use the back of a spoon to spread it in an even layer covering the bottom.

7. 7

   Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, until the top looks set and slightly golden, with the edges a deeper golden brown color.

8. 8

   Remove the baking dish from the oven using oven mitts and let it rest on the countertop for 3 minutes before serving—this sets the structure and makes it easier to cut.

9. 9

   Cut the oatmeal into 4 equal squares using a knife, then use a spatula to lift each square out of the dish onto a plate.
