# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like cake but feels wholesome enough to eat before noon without guilt.
  • The texture is soft and custardy inside with crispy golden edges that make your kitchen smell like a bakery.
  • You can prep everything the night before if mornings are chaos, and still have a hot breakfast in 30 minutes.
02 -
  • Don't skip pulsing the oats in the blender first—you need them partially broken down or the baked oats will have a gritty texture instead of that soft, cake-like crumb everyone loves.
  • Frozen blueberries actually work better than fresh because they release juice as they thaw, creating little pools of jammy sweetness throughout the bake.
03 -
  • Let the batter rest for five minutes before pouring into the pan—this gives the oats time to absorb some moisture and creates a more uniform texture when it bakes.
  • If your blueberries are especially large, halve them so they distribute more evenly and don't create weird dense spots in the final bake.
