Simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes uncovered or until most of the liquid evaporates. The time will depend on the juiciness of the blueberries.
Cool a tablespoon of the cooked blueberries and taste in order to determine the amount of honey needed to sweeten the mixture.
Add the honey and mix well.
Lower the heat and simmer for a minute.
Gradually add the oat flour, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 additional minutes stirring frequently. Let cool.
