Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Pan & Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2: Make Oat Flour
Blend 1 ½ cups rolled oats in a blender or food processor until you get a fine flour texture.

Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together oat flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, vanilla extract, applesauce, and oil until smooth.

Step 5: Mix Dry into Wet
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6: Fold in Blueberries
Toss blueberries with 1 tbsp oat flour (prevents sinking).
Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.

Step 7: Add Topping (Optional)
Sprinkle the top of the batter with oats and sugar for a crunchy golden topping.

Step 8: Bake
Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 28–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9: Cool & Serve
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Tips for Success
Use Greek Yogurt – It adds protein and moisture without extra fat.
Don’t Overmix – Mixing too much can make the cake dense.
Toss Berries in Flour – Keeps them evenly distributed throughout the cake.
Let It Cool – This helps the cake set and makes it easier to slice.
Make It Your Own – Add lemon zest, swap blueberries for raspberries, or sprinkle nuts on top.

Serving Suggestions
Fresh Fruit – Serve with a side of strawberries or banana slices.
Yogurt Dollop – Top with a spoonful of Greek yogurt for extra protein.
Nut Butter Drizzle – A light drizzle of almond or peanut butter adds richness.
Smoothie – Pair with your favorite morning smoothie for a complete breakfast.
