Method
 

Preheat and Prepare
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together rolled oats, oat flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder.
  2. In a smaller bowl, combine melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, egg or banana, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Stir in lemon zest if using.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Use a spatula to fold them together until every oat is glistening and coated. The mixture should be thick and slightly tacky.
  4. Gently fold in blueberries. Be careful not to crush them.
  5. Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon or your greased fingers to press the mixture down firmly.
  6. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center feels set to the touch.
  7. Let the pan cool completely on a wire rack. The structure needs time to set.
