Steps to Make It

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. This ensures that your baked oats cook evenly and come out perfectly fluffy.
2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, maple syrup, and peanut butter. Stir until everything is well mixed and creamy. You should see a lovely, smooth texture forming.
3. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt to the oat mixture. Mix well until everything is incorporated. The batter should be thick but pourable.
4. Gently fold in the mixed berries. They’ll add a burst of color and flavor to your breakfast. Make sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
5. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly so it cooks uniformly. You’ll want it to look nice and level.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The aroma will be irresistible!
7. Let the baked oats cool for a few minutes before slicing. This makes it easier to cut and serve. Enjoy the delicious smell wafting through your kitchen.
8. Serve warm or store in the fridge. You can reheat individual portions in the microwave for a quick breakfast.

Make It Perfect

• For extra protein, add a scoop of protein powder to the oat mixture.
• Top with yogurt or more fresh fruit before serving for added flavor.
• You can also add nuts or seeds for a crunchy texture.

Mix It Up

• Add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm flavor.
• Mix in chocolate chips for a sweet treat that kids will love.

Perfect Partners

• Serve with a side of Greek yogurt for extra protein.
