- Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, stir together oats, baking powder, and salt.

Pour the blended mixture into the bowl with the oats. Gently fold until combined. Carefully fold in the blueberries — don’t overmix.

Let the bites cool for 10 minutes before removing. Enjoy warm or store for later.

Frozen blueberries? Don’t thaw them first — this prevents excess moisture.
Want them sweeter? Add an extra tablespoon of honey.
Extra protein boost: Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla protein powder.
Texture tip: If batter feels thick, add 1–2 tablespoons milk.
Kid-friendly: Mini size makes them perfect lunchbox snacks.
