# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get fifteen grams of protein per slice without any weird aftertaste or chalky texture that usually comes with protein breakfasts
  • The texture sits somewhere between cake and oatmeal, which means it feels indulgent but actually fuels you through a chaotic morning
02 -
  • Overbaking is the enemy here. The center should still feel slightly soft when you take it out because it continues cooking as it cools
  • Different protein powders absorb liquid differently so if your batter looks like thick cookie dough add another splash of milk
03 -
  • Let your bananas get almost black before baking. They are sweeter and mash into a smoother texture
  • Line your baking dish with parchment paper if you plan to remove the whole thing for easier slicing
