Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Grease a 10.5" x 7.5" or 9" x 9" inch baking dish with oil or butter and set aside.
- Next melt a tsp or two of butter in a large pan/skillet and toast your oats, pecans, and almonds until fragrant and toasted, stirring occasionally.
- Transfer oats and nuts to a large mixing bowl along with cinnamon, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk, maple syrup, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Whisk until blended.
- Set aside ½ cup of the berries for topping, then arrange the remaining berries evenly over the bottom of the baking dish (no defrosting needed if frozen).
- Combine the dry and wet ingredients and mix until no dry oats remain. Pour over berries and gently spread mixture evenly with a baking spatula.
- Scatter the remaining berries across the top and pat into the oats.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is nice and golden. Remove your baked oatmeal from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

Notes
- For a vegan option, substitute flax eggs and use melted coconut oil instead of butter.
- Serve with yogurt, fresh raspberries, or whipped cream and additional almond milk for added creaminess.
- Extra blueberries can be cooked down into a jam or sauce to accompany the baked oatmeal.
