# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You get all the comfort of warm pancakes without standing over a hot stove flipping anything
  • The texture is incredibly fluffy and light despite being packed with protein
  • One bowl means almost zero cleanup and you can customize it endlessly
02 -
  • The center will look underbaked when you first pull it out but this is completely normal
  • Using a bowl smaller than 650 ml will cause overflow and make a mess of your oven
  • Protein powder brands vary wildly in thickness so you may need a splash more milk
03 -
  • Spray your ramekin lightly with oil even though the recipe does not call for it
  • Room temperature ingredients incorporate more easily and create better texture
