  • 1 pinch Salt balances sweetness
For the Wet Mixture

  • 0.33 cup Maple Syrup or Honey provides natural sweetness
  • 2 large Eggs for a vegan alternative, use flax eggs

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with ½ tablespoon of oil.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix rolled oats, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  3. Add eggs, milk, vanilla extract, remaining oil, and maple syrup or honey to the dry mixture. Mix gently until smooth.
  4. Fold in blueberries and grated zucchini carefully to avoid breaking up the blueberries.
  5. Transfer the mixture into the baking dish and smooth it out. Sprinkle an additional ½ cup of blueberries on top.
  6. Bake for 40–45 minutes until golden brown and a knife inserted comes out clean.
  7. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving warm.
