Steps to Make It
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. This ensures that your baked oats cook evenly and come out perfectly fluffy.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
- Serve warm or store in the fridge. You can reheat individual portions in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
