# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • You mix everything in the same bowl you bake it in, so cleanup is almost nonexistent.
  • It delivers over 30 grams of protein without a single banana in sight.
  • The texture is soft and custardy in the center, like the best part of a stack of pancakes without the hassle.
  • You can prep several at once and reheat them all week for grab-and-go mornings.
02 -
  • The center will look slightly underbaked when you first pull it out, but it sets perfectly as it cools, so resist the urge to overbake.
  • If your bowl is too small, the batter will puff up and spill over the sides, so always use at least a 650 ml capacity dish.
  • Protein powder brands vary wildly in sweetness and texture, so taste your batter before baking and adjust sweetener if needed.
03 -
  • Use a silicone ramekin if you have one, the pancake slides out effortlessly and cleanup is even easier.
  • If you want a crispier top, broil for the last minute of baking, but watch it closely so it doesn't burn.
  • Double the recipe and bake in a larger dish for a sharable version, just add a few extra minutes to the bake time.
