# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes one bowl, no flipping, and zero banana mashing required.
  • You get over 30 grams of protein without any chalky aftertaste or weird texture.
  • It bakes while you shower, check emails, or just stand there sipping coffee.
  • Leftovers reheat like a dream, so you can meal prep a whole week in under an hour.
02 -
  • The center will look slightly soft when you pull it out, but it will set as it cools—resist the urge to overbake or it'll turn dry.
  • Using a bowl that's too small will cause overflow, so stick with at least 650 ml capacity to give the batter room to puff.
  • If you're meal prepping, let each bowl cool completely before covering and refrigerating, or condensation will make them soggy.
03 -
  • Grease the bowl lightly with cooking spray or butter if you want to turn it out onto a plate instead of eating straight from the ramekin.
  • Use Greek yogurt or skyr for the thickest, creamiest texture—regular yogurt works too, but the batter will be a bit looser.
  • If you love a crispy edge, bake it for an extra minute or two and let it sit in the bowl for a full 10 minutes before digging in.
