Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: Both work, but if using frozen, don’t thaw them first to avoid excess moisture.
- Make It Gluten-Free: Swap rolled oats for certified gluten-free oats.
- Add a Crunchy Topping: Sprinkle chopped nuts, seeds, or granola on top before baking.
- Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat as needed.
