# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert for breakfast but won't make you feel guilty because it's actually nourishing.
  • The texture is perfectly tender and fluffy, nothing like eating plain oats from a bowl.
  • You can make two servings and eat one now or stash one for tomorrow when mornings get chaotic.
02 -
  • The batter will look thin, and you might worry it won't set—it absolutely will, so trust the process and don't add more oats.
  • If your blueberries are still frozen, don't thaw them first or they'll bleed into the batter and lose their shape.
03 -
  • Don't skip pulsing the oats into flour—this step is what makes the texture tender and cake-like instead of gritty.
  • Frozen blueberries are actually your secret weapon because they release their juice slowly as they bake instead of all at once.
