# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No flipping required, just mix and bake while you get ready for the day.
  • Packs serious protein without relying on bananas or complicated ingredients.
  • Endlessly customizable with whatever toppings or mix-ins you have on hand.
  • Perfect for meal prep since you can bake several at once and reheat all week.
02 -
  • The batter will look a little wet in the middle when you pull it out, but it sets perfectly as it cools, so resist the urge to overbake.
  • Using a bowl smaller than 650 ml can cause overflow or uneven cooking, so choose your vessel wisely.
  • If meal prepping, let the bowls cool completely before covering and refrigerating to avoid condensation turning them soggy.
03 -
  • Grease your bowl lightly with coconut oil or butter if you plan to turn the pancake out onto a plate for a prettier presentation.
  • Make a double or triple batch on Sunday and line them up in the fridge so you have grab-and-go breakfasts all week.
  • If your protein powder is unflavored, add an extra teaspoon of sweetener and a splash of vanilla extract to bring the flavor to life.
