Baked oats sit between porridge and a soft breakfast slice. This version keeps the centre moist but fully set. Frozen berries can go straight into the mixture; there is no need to thaw them on the counter.
For 3 portions, use 120g rolled oats, 250ml milk, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, ½ teaspoon baking powder, 150g frozen mixed berries and 1 teaspoon butter for greasing. Contains oats, milk and egg; check berry and oat labels.
Heat the oven to 190°C conventional/170°C fan. Grease a small ovenproof dish about 20cm wide. Beat milk, egg and syrup, then stir in oats and baking powder. Fold in frozen berries and pour into the dish.
Bake for 30–40 minutes until lightly golden and fully set in the centre, with no wet egg mixture. Follow any longer berry cooking requirement on its packet. Rest 10 minutes before serving, allowing 50 minutes altogether. Cool spare portions promptly, refrigerate within 2 hours and use within 48 hours; reheat once until steaming hot throughout. Do not leave the dish out all morning for repeated helpings.
