# Pro Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like cake for breakfast but won't make you feel guilty about it.
  • Blueberries burst into warm pockets of sweetness as the oats bake into a sturdy, tender crumb.
  • You can prep it in under 10 minutes, which means more time enjoying it than making it.
02 -
  • Don't skip pulsing the oats; they need to break down or you'll end up with something dense and grainy instead of cake-like.
  • If your batter seems too thick after blending, it's because the oats are thirsty; a splash more milk fixes it in seconds.
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients blend smoother and bake more evenly than cold ones pulled straight from the fridge.
  • A pinch of salt in sweet baking might seem wrong until you taste how it makes everything taste more like itself instead of just sugar.
