Directions
-
Prepare the Oat Mixture:
Combine the rolled oats with 375 milliliters of water or milk and a pinch of salt. Stir to form a smooth porridge-like consistency. Allow the mixture to rest for 2 to 3 hours, or overnight, to soften the oats and blend the flavors.
-
Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 175 °C (347 °F) and let it preheat while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
-
Mix the Batter:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the shredded coconut, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, baking powder, olive or coconut oil, and eggs. Once the ingredients are thoroughly combined, gently stir in the prepared oat mixture. Fold in the blueberries carefully so they remain intact.
-
Bake the Cakes:
Transfer the batter into a greased baking pan or divide it evenly among muffin molds. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the cakes spring back when gently pressed.
-
Cool and Serve:
Let the cakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing them. Transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely. They can also be frozen if you wish to enjoy them at a later time.
