Equipment

  • 1 Baking pan (9×9 inch or 11×7 inch) Any 3-quart dish works for baking
  • 1 Large mixing bowl For combining all ingredients
  • 1 Whisk Used to blend wet ingredients and incorporate oats
  • 1 Nonstick spray Prevents sticking during baking
  • 1 Oven Preheated to 350°F for proper cooking

Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk any dairy or nondairy option for moisture
  • 2 large eggs binds mixture and adds richness
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup natural sweetness and moisture
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted (adds flavor and tender texture)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana lightens texture and adds subtle sweetness
  • 3 ⅓ cups old-fashioned rolled oats best for hearty, chewy structure
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder helps lift the oatmeal slightly
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon warm spice flavor
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons vanilla extract adds aroma and depth
  • ¼ teaspoon salt balances sweetness
  • 1 ¾ cups mixed berries fresh or frozen (do not thaw for best texture)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional (crunchy finishing element)

Instructions

  • Position the oven rack in the lower third, heat to 350°F (177°C), and lightly grease a square or similarly sized baking dish.
  • Stir all ingredients together in a single large bowl until evenly combined, then pour into the prepared dish and sprinkle nuts on top if using.
    Glass bowl of creamy oatmeal batter mixed with strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, stirred with a silicone spatula.
  • Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the center is just barely firm for a softer texture, or fully set for a drier slice.
