Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the milk, egg, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla protein powder to the mashed banana and whisk until completely combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir thoroughly until well mixed.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and optional chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
Pour the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Cut into squares and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
