Baked Oatmeal with Berries

Recipe by gingham

Stir it together, bake, and breakfast is ready for the whole table, with some left for tomorrow.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted, plus more for the dish
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries or mixed berries, fresh or frozen

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F and butter an 8 by 8 inch baking dish.

  2. In a bowl, mix the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

  3. In another bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.

  4. Scatter half the berries in the dish, then the oat mixture. Pour the milk mixture evenly over the top and scatter on the rest of the berries.

  5. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the top is golden and the middle no longer jiggles.

  6. Let it cool for 5 minutes before cutting. Serve warm, with a splash of cold milk or a spoonful of yogurt.

To get ahead, mix it all in the dish, cover, and keep it in the fridge overnight, then add 5 minutes to the baking. Slices reheat in the microwave in about 45 seconds.
