Directions
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking pan. In a big bowl, mix together the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In another bowl, cream the brown sugar and margarine until smooth, then beat in the egg. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring just until everything is blended. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool a bit before serving and enjoy!
