Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease an 8 x 8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup, applesauce, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Add the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
  • Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes so the oats can begin absorbing the liquid.
  • Gently fold in the blackberries (reserve a few to sprinkle on top). Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer. Sprinle the remaining blackberries on top.
  • Bake for 35 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is just set. The center may still have a slight jiggle but will continue to firm up as it cools. Let cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Let the oatmeal mixture rest for 5 minutes before baking. This helps the oats soak up some of the liquid for a softer, creamier texture.
  • If using frozen blackberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter. Feel free to swap this with your favorite berries like blueberries or raspberries, or add in some chocolate chips for an extra sweet treat!
  • For cleaner slices, allow the baked oatmeal to cool for at least 10–15 minutes before cutting.
  • Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a spoonful of nut butter for a filling breakfast.
