A custard-like mix made with eggs and milk, and flavored with maple syrup, vanilla, and nutmeg transforms oats into a fluffy baked delight. Mixed berries turn jammy as they bake and crunchy sliced almonds add another layer of texture and flavor. Serve this for brunch at home or make it to enjoy throughout the week. Pro tip: Use whichever berries you have on hand, even frozen.
