Simple Steps to Make This Baked Oatmeal with Berries Recipe

I love when I have recipes that are versatile, allowing you to swap out ingredients.

This one is great since you can use any type of milk you have on hand. You can also use any type of berry – frozen or fresh.

Start by combining the dry ingredients – oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Stir these ingredients until they are combined.
Next, add the wet ingredients including the milk, vanilla extract, eggs, and maple syrup.
Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Don’t worry, if it looks “soupy” that’s okay. It should be since oats soak up a lot of liquid.
Now, stir in the berries of your choice.
Finally, add the mixture to a 1 1/2 – 2 quart baking dish sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake at 375F for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
