• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowls
• Whisk or fork
• 8×8-inch baking pan
• Parchment paper
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Blender (if making oat flour from rolled oats)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Oats
If using whole rolled oats, blend in a food processor or blender to make fine oat flour.

Step 2: Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease or line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, yogurt, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined.

Step 5: Fold in Blueberries
Toss blueberries with 1 tbsp flour (to prevent sinking) and gently fold them into the batter.

Step 6: Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Sprinkle with extra blueberries, oats, or nuts if desired.
Bake for 28–32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully.

Step 7: Slice and Serve
Cut into squares and enjoy warm or chilled.
Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.

Tips for Best Results
Use Ripe Bananas – They naturally sweeten the cake and improve texture.
Don’t Overmix – Stir gently for a soft, fluffy result.
Try Greek Yogurt – It adds creaminess and protein.
Chill Before Slicing – For clean edges and easier storage.
Double the Batch – Great for freezing or feeding a crowd.
