# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The texture is like a fluffy cake crossed with your favorite oatmeal
  • One batch gives you two solid breakfasts for the week
  • You can customize the add-ins based on what is in your pantry
02 -
  • Over-blending the add-ins will turn your blueberries or chocolate chips into streaks, so fold them in gently at the end
  • The center should still feel slightly soft when you take it out—it continues cooking as it cools
03 -
  • Let the batter sit for 10 minutes before baking for an even fluffier result
  • Use room temperature ingredients for better blending and a smoother texture
