# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • This recipe makes breakfast outrageously cozy—even if you’re running late.
  • It’s basically cake for breakfast, but wholesome enough that you’ll never feel guilty for a second serving.
02 -
  • If you don’t grease the ramekin well, the oats will stubbornly cling to every corner.
  • Adding frozen blueberries straight from the freezer is ideal; letting them thaw first will make your oats watery and less appealing.
03 -
  • A pinch of salt truly transforms the sweetness of the blueberries—don’t underestimate it.
  • Baking until the edges are golden makes the best texture contrast.
