# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No flipping, no splatter, no standing over a hot pan while youre half awake.
  • Packs serious protein without relying on banana or complicated ingredient lists.
  • Bakes while you shower, and stays moist for days in the fridge if you make extras.
02 -
  • The batter looks thin at first but thickens fast, so resist adding extra flour or itll bake dense.
  • Overbaking by even three minutes turns the edges crusty and the center dry, so watch the clock once you hit 20 minutes.
03 -
  • Spray or lightly grease your bowl if you plan to turn the pancake out onto a plate, otherwise it sticks just enough to be annoying.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon, cardamom, or citrus zest to the batter for instant flavor without extra calories or prep.
