Ingredients:
- 2 cups (180g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp (3g) fine sea salt
- 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large egg (50g), beaten
- ¼ cup (55g) melted coconut oil
- ⅓ cup (80ml) pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
- ½ cup (60g) sliced almonds
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper. Note: Parchment makes cleanup a breeze.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until no clumps remain.
- Pour the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, almond milk, beaten egg, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients.
- Stir with a spatula until the oats are fully saturated and glossy. Note: This ensures every oat grain is coated in fat.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries. Note: Use a light hand to keep the berries whole.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan using the back of your spatula.
- Sprinkle the sliced almonds across the top in an even layer.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until the edges pull away slightly from the sides and the top is toasted and fragrant.
