- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- 3 cups 2% milk
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup dried blueberries
- 1/4 cup dried cherries
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, brown sugar, canola oil, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
Stir in the oats, blueberries, and cherries until evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into a greased 8-inch square baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the dish from the refrigerator to allow it to come to room temperature slightly.
Stir the mixture to redistribute ingredients if needed, then sprinkle the top with sliced almonds.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 40–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and an internal thermometer reads 160°F.
Serve warm, either on its own or with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt if desired.
