# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like cake for breakfast but your body knows it's whole grains and protein.
  • You can prep two servings in actual minutes, and it reheats beautifully for those mornings when you overslept.
  • The blueberries stay juicy instead of turning into sad little raisins like in some baked goods.
02 -
  • Frozen blueberries are genuinely better here than fresh—they don't release as much liquid and stay whole, which makes every bite actually contain blueberries instead of just blueberry-tinted batter.
  • Blending the oats first is the difference between this tasting like a baked good and tasting like chunky oatmeal; it's a tiny step that matters completely.
03 -
  • Don't skip the salt—it's just a pinch, but it makes the sweetness taste more intentional and less cloying.
  • Freshly blended batter is thicker than you'd expect; trust that the oats will absorb liquid during baking and turn into something with an incredible texture.
