  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of rolled oats, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a dash of nutmeg.
  • In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce, 1 cup of non-dairy milk, the flax egg mixture, 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and stir gently. Fold in 1 cup of blueberries.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and top with sliced bananas or additional fruit if desired.
