# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes seven minutes from craving to first bite, no oven required.
  • You get all the cozy charm of berry cobbler without dirtying a single baking dish.
  • The berries burst into jammy pockets under a fluffy, golden topping that tastes like summer.
  • Its perfectly portioned for one, so you can indulge without leftovers tempting you all week.
02 -
  • Dont overfill the mug or the batter will overflow as it rises, trust me, Ive cleaned that mess.
  • Frozen berries release more juice than fresh, so if your cobbler looks soupy at first, give it an extra 30 seconds in the microwave.
  • Let it cool for at least two minutes or youll burn your tongue on molten berry lava, learned that the hard way.
03 -
  • Use a mug thats at least 12 ounces to give the batter room to rise without spilling over.
  • If your microwave runs hot, start with 1 minute 30 seconds and add time in 15-second bursts to avoid overcooking.
  • Let the melted butter cool for a minute before stirring it in, or it can cook the batter prematurely.
