Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, honey, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine and Fold
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined.
Fold in the blueberries and nuts (if using), being careful not to crush the blueberries.
Bake the Loaf
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
5 Serving Suggestions
Spread with cream cheese or almond butter for added flavor and creaminess.
Pair with a drizzle of honey or blueberry compote for extra sweetness.
Serve with a cup of tea, coffee, or a smoothie for a complete breakfast.
Enjoy toasted with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top.
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dessert twist.
5 Cooking Tips
Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw them to prevent bleeding into the batter.
For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend.
Sprinkle extra oats or a few blueberries on top of the batter before baking for a decorative touch.
Ensure the loaf cools completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
Store in an airtight container to keep the loaf moist for longer.
