# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You get that cake-like comfort food experience while hitting your protein goals without drinking another shake
  • The whole thing comes together in one blender meaning almost zero cleanup and maximum efficiency
02 -
  • Over blending the protein powder can make the texture weirdly rubbery so just blend until smooth and stop
  • The center might look slightly under baked when you pull it out but it will finish cooking as it cools
03 -
  • Let your eggs come to room temperature first because cold eggs can sometimes make the protein powder clump up
  • Check it at 20 minutes because ovens vary and you do not want to over bake this into dryness
