# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You can prep it the night before and bake it fresh in the morning without any stress.
  • It tastes like dessert but keeps you full until lunch, no sugar crash halfway through the day.
  • The raspberries burst into jammy pockets that make every bite different.
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully, so you get breakfast sorted for half the week.
02 -
  • Do not use quick oats, they turn the bake gummy and lose all the texture that makes this special.
  • If your raspberries are frozen, toss them in straight from the freezer, thawing them first makes the batter watery.
  • Let it cool for the full 10 minutes or it will fall apart when you try to slice it.
03 -
  • Toast the coconut in a dry skillet before mixing it in for an even deeper flavor that really stands out.
  • Press the raspberries gently into the top layer before baking so they stay put and do not roll off when you slice.
  • If you like a sweeter bake, brush the top with a thin layer of maple syrup in the last five minutes of baking for a glossy finish.
