Recipe

1


Preheat Oven

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2


Grease the pan

Grease a 10 × 12-inch baking dish with butter. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk and oats and microwave on high, stopping once to stir, 5 to 6 minutes. Let the oatmeal sit on the counter to thicken for 10 minutes, but not longer if possible because you want the oatmeal to finish doing its thing in the oven.

3


Stir

Stir the cake mix into the cooked oatmeal until smooth, then mix in the eggs, melted butter, and salt.

4


Transfer

Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, then scatter the berries and peaches on top. Bake until the center is just set and seems almost undercooked, 30 to 35 minutes. (It will jiggle a little, and when you spoon into the cake, it may separate into 2 layers: a cakey, custardy layer and an oatmealy layer. This is actual magic.)

5


Serve

Spoon into bowls and serve warm.
