- 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk
- ½ cup (115 g) melted butter or vegetable oil

👩🍳 Full Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a square baking tray (20×20 cm / 8×8 inch) with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Mix well so everything is evenly distributed.
Step 3: Mix wet ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy.
Step 4: Combine everything
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until you get a thick, even batter. If you are using add-ins like nuts, raisins, or fruit, fold them in at this stage.
Step 5: Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared tray and spread it evenly. Lightly tap the tray to remove air bubbles.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top turns golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and slice
Allow the tray to cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting. Slice into squares or bars.
