# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • One bowl, one spoon, zero cleanup drama, and youre eating in under half an hour.
  • Over 30 grams of protein per serving keeps you full without the mid morning crash.
  • No banana means no brown spots, no overripe guilt, and no mushy texture surprises.
  • You can prep a whole weeks worth on Sunday and reheat each morning in seconds.
02 -
  • The center will look slightly underdone when you pull it out, but if you overbake it you lose that soft, moist texture.
  • Using a bowl thats too small will cause overflow, I learned this the hard way with batter dripping onto my oven floor.
  • Not all protein powders bake the same, some turn chalky or dense, so stick with brands labeled baking friendly if possible.
03 -
  • Spray or butter your bowl lightly if youre worried about sticking, though I rarely bother and it still releases fine.
  • Let the batter rest for a minute before baking if you have time, it helps the baking powder activate and gives you extra fluff.
  • Top with a spoonful of yogurt and a drizzle of honey right after baking for a creamy contrast to the warm cake.
