I thought it was good, too. I was surprised by how much the blueberries exploded. You definitely have to use a big bowl & cover it well in the microwave!!

Oh, yes... I was gonna mention that... you MUST use a big bowl... I used a pyrex 2 cup and it was too small....good thing I had paper towels under it...I was able to clean up real easy.

Shell,
I eat this every morning for breakfast. I love it but everyone makes fun of the blue color. I have gotten so if I don't have my oatmeal for breakfast I feel like I am missing something.
You are right about the bowl. You have to watch it carefully or it will boil over every time. Also, I have used honey if I don't have brownsugar.

And one little thing of fresh blueberries could last a whole week...since you only use 1/4 cup at a time.

Well, I haven't tried too many recipes *yet* (still alittle unsure of myself in the kitchen, but getting better) So easy to make and very yummy! Hmmm... I should try it again sometime soon...
Next thing out of EFI I am trying is Peppermint Fudge Cake, but subbing the almond as I am not crazy for peppermint. Gonna make it on V-DAy (well, weekend before I have school and work on monday) for BF. We'll see how he likes it!

I made the peppermint fudge cake from EFI for my bf as a birthday cake back in October for his b-day so that I could eat it too. He loved it, as did his roommates. I'm sure Chris will love it too!

I made this with the almond extract & it was VERY strong. You might consider putting in half the recommended amount. My family thought the cake tasted strange & I did, too.

yeah I agree.. I've made this cake many times and it is by far my fave.. however.. I hated it with the almond extract. (I actually only used half as well.. as I do with the peppermint as well beause the whole recipe amount makes it very very strong.)
