- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, oats, flax meal, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
- In another bowl, mix together the applesauce, sugar, buttermilk, vegetable oil and egg.
- Gently shake the dry ingredients into the wet, giving the mixture a stir every few shakes. Stir in the blueberries.
