# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It bakes while you shower or sip coffee, leaving you with six servings of actual nutrition that doesn't taste like punishment.
  • The yogurt swirl adds this luxurious tang that makes it feel indulgent without the guilt spiraling afterward.
  • Frozen blueberries work beautifully, so you're never waiting for fresh ones or throwing out moldy berries at week's end.
02 -
  • If you thaw frozen blueberries before folding them in, they'll bleed purple into the entire bake and turn everything an unattractive gray color—keep them frozen solid so they stay intact.
  • The bake continues cooking slightly as it cools, so pulling it out when the center still feels slightly soft keeps it from drying out by dinner time.
03 -
  • Let the bake cool completely before covering it with plastic wrap for storage—trapping steam while it's still hot makes the top soggy by the next morning.
  • If you're making this ahead for meal prep, store individual portions in glass containers so you can grab and reheat without dirtying extra dishes.
