# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Twelve breakfasts made once, stored in your fridge—no morning decisions required.
  • That bright lemon flavor wakes you up faster than coffee ever could.
  • Blueberries stay juicy inside, creating little pockets of tartness throughout.
02 -
  • Don't overfill the cups—batter rises and will overflow into the tin, creating a mess and hard crusty edges.
  • Frozen blueberries actually work better than fresh because they hold their shape and don't bleed into the batter as much.
03 -
  • If your lemon feels dry, microwave it for 15 seconds before cutting—it releases more juice and zest stays fresher.
  • Make these the night before a busy week and your mornings become so much quieter and easier.
