# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It bakes while you get ready, giving you back precious morning minutes.
  • The fluffy texture feels indulgent but keeps you full for hours.
  • You can customize every batch with whatever toppings you crave that day.
  • No banana means cleaner flavor and easier digestion for those who avoid it.
02 -
  • The center will look slightly underdone when you pull it out, but it sets as it cools and that keeps it moist instead of rubbery.
  • Using a bowl smaller than 650 ml will cause overflow, so measure your ramekin first if you are unsure.
  • Protein powder brands behave differently, some absorb more liquid, so if your batter looks too thick, add a splash more milk.
03 -
  • Grease the bowl lightly with butter or oil if you want to flip it out onto a plate for a neater presentation.
  • Let the batter rest for one minute before baking so the baking powder activates fully and you get a better rise.
  • If your protein powder is unflavored, add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to boost the flavor.
