- 0.5 cup Dried cherries
- 1.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg

- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch (or similar-sized) baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, chopped pecans or walnuts, dried cherries, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir to evenly mix the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently stir until fully incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set in the center.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Cut the baked oatmeal into squares or scoop it into bowls. Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a side of fresh fruit if desired. Enjoy!
