Soak 2 cups of organic oats in enough water to cover them and add 2 tablespoons of yogurt. Let it sit for a few hours or overnight.

In a large bowl, mix together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 1/3 cup raw honey or maple syrup, 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 teaspoon unrefined salt, 1.5 teaspoons baking powder, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

Add the soaked oats to the mixture and stir well.

Fold in half of the frozen blackberries into the mixture, reserving the other half for later.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish or cast iron skillet.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, checking for doneness and a golden brown crust.

Let it cool for about 15 minutes before serving.
