Baked oats with blueberries hints

The batter is almost like making a oat flour banana bread or cake and is light and fluffy which goes great with fresh berries. You can get creative with using other berries like raspberries and even strawberries. Adding nut butter like almond butter provides some protein and another texture into the mix. You can enjoy it warm or cold and nothing is stopping you from having it for dessert with ice cream or cream either.
