How do I store leftovers?

These are best enjoyed warm, but you can store them covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. ❄️ The texture turns into more of a dense 'breakfast cake' when cold. *Pro-Tip:* Reheat in the microwave for 20 seconds to bring back that molten lava magic! ✨

Mine came out too dry, why?

It might be overbaked! 🕒 Every oven is different, so start checking 2-3 minutes before the recommended time. It should still be slightly jiggly in the center when you take it out. *Pro-Tip:* A dollop of yogurt in the batter ensures it stays moist even if you accidentally leave it in a minute too long! 🥣

SOMMELIER NOTES

"Heat increases the volatility of chocolate aroma compounds. Serving this warm maximizes the 'chocolatey' smell, which contributes 80% of what we perceive as flavor. The marshmallows add a texture of 'resistance' that dissolves, which contrasts playfully with the soft, yieldy sponge of the baked oats, mimicking the experience of drinking hot cocoa with melting toppings."

Cozy Vibes

The combination of warmth and chocolate increases serotonin levels instantly. It is scientifically proven to improve mood, making this the perfect antidote to Seasonal Affective Disorder or just a gray rainy morning.

Best served warm

This recipe relies on the heat to keep the texture soft and fudgy. If you let it go cold, the starches retrograd and it becomes more like a dense cake. Reheat it to restore the magic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can! 🌪️ Bake at 160°C (320°F) for about 8-12 minutes. The air fryer circulates heat faster, so keep an eye on it to prevent burning. *Pro-Tip:* use a heat-safe ramekin and maybe cover the top with foil for the first half if you want a gooier center! 🍫
