Instructions

Preheat the oven and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the old-fashioned rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to ensure even flavor distribution throughout the rounds.
Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey or maple syrup, unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil or butter, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
Fold in blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries so that they are evenly distributed without breaking them up too much.
Shape the rounds: Scoop the mixture into 8–10 equal portions and shape each into a round about ½ inch thick. Place the rounds evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the rounds are set, indicating they are cooked through.
Cool and serve: Allow the rounds to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm or at room temperature as desired.

Notes

These rounds are ideal for meal prepping and freeze well for later use.
You can substitute dried blueberries or chopped nuts for added texture and variety.
To make a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) and use maple syrup as the sweetener.
