Ingredients

• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Here's how to make it:

1. Combine the oats, baking powder and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. (Oats are naturally gluten-free. But to be sure that this recipe is gluten-free, use gluten-free oats.)
   
2. Combine the blueberries, banana slices, milk, egg whites, vanilla, maple syrup and nuts (if using) in another bowl. (I used almond milk, but you can use whatever kind of milk you like. Nut milk or regular cow's milk work equally well.)
   
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.
   
4. Mix well.
   
5. Pour into a sprayed 13x9-inch baking pan.
