1 tsp vanilla extract Use pure vanilla extract for best flavor.

Equipment

Baking Dish

Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, cottage cheese, milk, eggs, honey, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt.
Mix until well combined, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Gently fold in the mixed berries.
Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the oatmeal bake cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This helps it set.

Notes

This oatmeal bake is excellent for meal prep; simply store individual slices in the refrigerator for quick breakfasts throughout the week. You can also experiment with different fruits or nuts.
