This breakfast reminds me of early mornings in the kitchen with my grandmother—she’d hum while mixing oats and berries into something magical. Inspired by her love of hearty, wholesome meals, this Berry Baked Protein Oats recipe is nourishing, simple, and just sweet enough. It’s perfect for starting your day strong or sharing a cozy morning with loved ones. Bake a batch, and feel the comfort in every warm, fruity bite.
