1 1⁄2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)

1⁄4 cup maple syrup

Directions
Heat oven to 170°C and rub a little butter or oil over a rectangle baking dish.
Combine ingredients (except berries) in a bowl.
Gently stir through berries before pouring into a baking dish.
Bake for 30 min until the centre is almost set (this is for a delicious chewy texture). If you wants the oats to be a little more baked, cook for another 5 min.

*For egg-free alternative– 1 tbsp chia seeds placed in 3 tbsp water and allowed to sit for 5 min until it becomes a gel. This is equivalent to 1 egg.
