# Chef Secrets:

01 -
  • You get that dessert-for-breakdown feeling without the sugar crash or post-baking regret
  • The protein keeps you full for hours, which means no mid-morning snacking
02 -
  • The center will still look slightly jiggly when you take it out, but it firms as it cools
  • Using frozen blueberries may add a few minutes to the baking time
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly and prevent lumps
  • Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking for even better texture
