Berry Bliss Oatmeal Bake

1.Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

2.In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to combine all the dry ingredients.

3.In another bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, orange zest, and fresh orange juice until well combined.

4.Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the mixed berries and nuts if using, being careful not to crush the berries.

5.Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

6.Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7.Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm, optionally topped with additional berries or a drizzle of cream.
