# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Zero flipping or babysitting means you can shower, pack your bag, or just sit down while breakfast cooks itself.
  • Thirty-one grams of protein in one bowl without any chalky aftertaste or banana mush.
  • Tastes like dessert for breakfast but keeps you steady and satisfied for hours.
  • Meal prep friendly so you can bake a few on Sunday and reheat all week without losing that fluffy texture.
02 -
  • The center will look slightly underdone when you pull it out hot, but it firms up perfectly as it cools, giving you that moist, fluffy texture instead of dry cake.
  • Using a bowl smaller than 650 ml will cause overflow and a mess in your oven, trust me on that one.
  • Protein powder brands vary wildly in sweetness and thickness, so taste your batter and adjust sweetener or milk if it feels too thick or bland.
03 -
  • Let the batter rest for a minute before baking if you have time, it helps the baking powder activate and gives you even more lift.
  • Use a silicone spatula to scrape every bit of batter from the sides so nothing goes to waste and cleanup is a breeze.
  • If you love a crispy edge, spray the bowl lightly with oil before adding the batter, it creates a golden crust that contrasts beautifully with the soft center.
