Yield: 9servings
Ingredients
2 ½cupsold-fashioned (rolled) oats
1teaspoonbaking powder
½teaspoonsground cinnamon
½teaspoonkosher salt
1large egg
1 ½cupsskim milk (or 2% or soy or almond milk)
½cupplain Greek yogurt (I use non-fat)
½cupunsweetened applesauce
½cupmaple syrup
2tablespoonsunsalted butter, melted
1 ½teaspoonsvanilla
1 ½cupsfresh blueberries
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, Greek yogurt, applesauce, maple syrup, melted butter and vanilla until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well. Carefully fold in the blueberries (so you don’t break and burst them).
Transfer the batter to a well greased 8x8 pan. It will be very full and liquidy.
Bake at 375 for about 35 minutes, until the edges are browned and the middle is set.
Let cool 5-10 minutes before slicing. (It needs a few minutes to set up so the baked oatmeal squares aren’t crumbly when you cut them.)
Store, covered, at room temperature for up to 2 days. After that, these are best stored in the refrigerator so they don’t get soggy. (They freeze great, too.)

Notes
The batter is very liquidy and it will fill your pan almost all the way. Don’t panic, that’s just how it should be. The oats absorb that liquid and this doesn’t really rise, so it’s not going to spill over.You can add in ½ cup slivered almonds or sprinkle them on top if you love a blueberry-almond combo.You could add a drizzle of lemon glaze to make this extra special.
