| 1 tsp |  baking powder |
| 1 tsp |  cinnamon (ground) |
| ½ tsp | salt |
| 1 ½ cup |  milk |
| 1 unit |  egg |
| ⅓ cup |  maple syrup |
| 3 tbsp |  butter (melted, plus more for the dish) |
| 1 tsp |  vanilla extract |
| 1 ½ cup |  blueberries (fresh or frozen) |

Steps
- Mix3 mindry and wet separatelyoats + baking powder + cinnamon + salt in one bowl; milk + egg + maple + melted butter + vanilla whisked in another — the melted butter goes into room-temperature milk, not cold, or it re-solidifies into flecks that bake as greasy spots
- Mix2 minberries folded lastwet into dry, then two-thirds of the berries folded in gently — frozen berries go in still frozen; thawed ones bleed and dye the whole pan violet
- Rest10 minin the buttered dish, remaining berries on topwhile the oven heats — ten minutes of soaking lets the oats start drinking the custard, which is the difference between baked oatmeal and granola floating on quiche
- Bake35 min375°F, until set at the center and golden at the edgesuntil the middle no longer jiggles as a liquid and the top has browned — the egg and milk are a light custard binding the oats, and it wants the same respect as any custard: done when barely set, not when bone dry
- Rest5 minbefore cutting into squares — it slices clean once the custard finishes setting, and it reheats all week, which is the real reason this dish exists
