How to Make Wake Up to Sweet Blueberry Bliss (Overview)

So, here’s the lowdown: start by preheating your oven while mixing the ingredients into a creamy, sweet batter. Give it a short rest to thicken, then fold in those vibrant blueberries for that pop of color. Once baked, this dish transforms into a warm, aromatic delight. Remember: Don’t skip the cooling time — those first slices are so much better when the dish has had a moment to settle. 😉
