1.25 cups (150 grams) oat flour
1/4 cup (30 grams) ground flax
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a square metal pan with parchment.
Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl (oats through salt). Whisk wet ingredients in a separate bowl (egg through vanilla). Add wet to dry and mix with a spatula until no flour streaks remain.
