Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, ensuring an even distribution of the leavening agent and spices.
Add Wet Ingredients: Add the mashed banana, milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until you have a smooth, well-combined batter.
Incorporate Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries to maintain their shape and distribution within the batter.
Prepare for Baking: Pour the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the surface, and if desired, sprinkle chopped nuts evenly on top for added texture and flavor.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top turns golden brown and the oats are fully set.
Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm to enjoy optimal texture and flavor.

Use almond milk or oat milk to make this recipe dairy-free.
