• Grease your tin well to prevent sticking.
• Fresh berries work best for a juicy bite.

• Melt your coconut oil before measuring it.
• Don’t over-mix once you add the berries.

Ways to Switch It Up

• Use almond milk for a dairy-free version.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, but do not thaw them first. Thawing will turn your batter purple. Add them straight from the freezer. You may need two extra minutes of baking.

Are these gluten-free?

They can be if you use certified gluten-free oats. Always check your labels carefully. Oats are naturally gluten-free but often processed near wheat.

Can I make these vegan?

Use flax eggs and plant-based milk instead. The texture will be slightly softer. They will still taste amazing.
