# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything mixes and bakes in the same bowl, so cleanup is done before you even eat.
  • It delivers serious protein without relying on bananas or complicated steps.
  • You can prep several at once and grab one from the fridge all week long.
02 -
  • The center will look a little soft when you first take it out, but it sets as it cools—don't overbake or it gets dry.
  • Using a bowl smaller than 650 ml will cause the batter to overflow in the oven, so size matters here.
03 -
  • Use a kitchen scale to measure your flour and protein powder for the most consistent texture every time.
  • If your protein powder is unflavored, add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to brighten the flavor.
  • Let the bowl cool for the full 10 minutes before eating—it makes the texture way better and prevents a gummy center.
