Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter
Additional
- 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Stir these together until evenly mixed to create the dry base of your batter.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, maple syrup or honey, unsweetened applesauce, milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil or butter. This mixture adds moisture and flavor to the rounds.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture tender.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries, distributing them evenly without breaking them up.
- Shape the Rounds: Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounds of batter onto your prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten each round with the back of the spoon to ensure even cooking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 14–18 minutes, until the edges turn golden and the centers are set.
- Cool and Serve: Let the breakfast rounds cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature for a delicious breakfast or snack.
Notes
- Using frozen blueberries? Do not thaw before adding to the batter to prevent excess moisture.
- Substitute maple syrup with honey for a different natural sweetness.
- You can use dairy or plant-based milk depending on your preference or dietary needs.
- These rounds are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For a crispier texture, bake a few extra minutes but be careful not to overbake.
