Ingredients:

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup mashed banana
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly distributed.
  3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk, egg, mashed banana, maple syrup, and vanilla.
  4. Stir with a spatula until the oats are fully submerged and the mixture is a uniform, thick batter.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest, being careful not to burst the berries.
  6. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes until the edges are golden-brown and the center feels set.
  8. Allow the bake to cool for 10 minutes before slicing into 6 equal squares.
