# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You mix everything right in the baking dish, so theres almost nothing to clean up afterward.
  • It delivers serious protein without relying on mashed banana, which some mornings you just dont have on hand.
  • The texture comes out somewhere between a soufflé and a classic pancake: fluffy edges, tender middle, endlessly customizable with whatever toppings you crave.
02 -
  • The batter will look slightly wet in the very center when you first pull it out; resist the urge to bake longer or youll end up with a dry pancake instead of a tender one.
  • Using a bowl thats too small causes overflow and uneven cooking, so always check your dish holds at least 650 ml before you start mixing.
03 -
  • Lightly grease your bowl with a tiny swipe of oil or butter to make scooping easier, especially if youre using a ceramic ramekin.
  • Let the bowl cool enough to handle but not completely cold; warm pancake with cold toppings creates the perfect temperature contrast.
