Ingredients
- 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

Instructions
- 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.
