INGREDIENTS

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup oats
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/2 cup OZblu blueberries
Golden syrup (optional)
Icing sugar – whipped (Optional)

METHOD

Start off by preheating the oven to 180˚C
Get out the baking tray and line with baking paper to ensure nothing sticks
In one bowl, combine flour, oats, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt
In another bowl, beat butter and sugars together until light and fluffy –
usually takes about 2-3 minutes
In the same bowl, beat in vanilla and egg until well combined
Slowly add your flour mixture to sugar mixture at low speed, until combined
Gently fold in the juicy blueberries
Use a tablespoon to drop the mix onto your baking tray and press down lightly to flatten
Now into the oven they go for about 7-8 minutes
Once ready, remove from the oven and let cool
