Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Set aside.

Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth.
Add yogurt, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk.
Whisk until fully combined and creamy.

Step 4: Bring It Together
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
Mix until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 5: Fold in Blueberries
Gently fold in the blueberries with a spatula.
If using frozen berries, toss them with 1 tsp flour first to prevent them from sinking.

Step 6: Transfer to Pan
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Smooth the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle with extra oats, sugar, and a few more blueberries if desired.

Step 7: Bake the Cake
Bake for 28–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Edges should be golden and the center set.

Step 8: Cool & Serve
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

Notes

Use Overripe Bananas – Adds natural sweetness and moisture.
Don’t Overmix – Overmixing can make the cake tough. Stir until just combined.
Fresh or Frozen Blueberries – Both work great, but avoid thawing frozen berries.
Test for Doneness – Oven times can vary, so use a toothpick to check.
Cool Before Slicing – Helps the cake hold its shape better.
