    What to look for: All ingredients are measured and tools are within reach

  2. Heat Oven

    Heat the oven to 204°C / 400°F, place a rack in the center, and grease a small baking dish with the butter. · 3 min

    What to look for: The dish has a thin, even butter coating

  3. Whisk Wet Mix

    Whisk the egg, water, honey, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a bowl until the mixture looks smooth and lightly foamy. · 3 min

    What to look for: The liquid is glossy with small bubbles on top

  4. Add Dry Mix

    Stir in the oats, protein powder, baking powder, and salt until no dry pockets remain and the batter looks thick but pourable. · 2 min

    What to look for: The batter is evenly mixed with no powdery streaks

  5. Fold Blueberries

    Fold blueberries gently through the batter, then let it stand for 5 minutes so the oats thicken and the berries stay whole. · 5 min

Ingredient substitutions

Oat

  • Quick oat: Gives a softer texture and absorbs liquid faster

Lemon

  • Bottled lemon juice: Use only if fresh lemon is unavailable, since the zest aroma will be missing

Blueberry

  • Frozen blueberry: Use from frozen and fold in gently to avoid streaking the batter

Egg

  • Egg white: Makes the bake lighter and slightly less rich

Protein powder

  • Oat: Use only when protein powder is unavailable, noting the protein level will be lower

Honey

  • Sugar: Stir well so the crystals dissolve into the wet mixture
