Ingredients

1 ¾ cup milk warmed to room temperature
2 large eggs warmed to room temperature
⅓ cup maple syrup
¼ cup melted butter slightly cooled
3 cups old fashioned oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups mixed berries fresh or frozen reserve ½ cup for top

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x9 inch casserole dish with nonstick baking spray.
In a large bowl mix together the milk, eggs, maple syrup, melted butter, old fashioned oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract. Gently fold the berries into the oat mixture reserving 1/2 cup. Sprinkle reserved berries over the top.
Pour it into the prepared baking dish and top with the extra berries. Bake for 40 minutes or until lightly browned.
Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Warm the milk and eggs to room temperature so they mix easily. Cold milk and eggs could reharden the melted butter.
Blackberries, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries all work well with this recipe.
Use old fashioned rolled oats not quick oats. Quick oats have been partially cooked and other additives have been added to them to make them creamier when cooked for shorter periods of time. The old fashioned oats are whole oats that are rolled to flatten them. They maintain structure and chewiness and they work well in recipes cooked with other ingredients.
After baking let the casserole sit for about 10-15 minutes before cutting so the pieces cut cleaner and easier.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat individual pieces in the microwave for about 1 minute at a reduced power until warm.
