# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No flour means you can make these on your worst pantry days and they actually taste incredible, not like a sad breakfast compromise.
  • Protein packed and naturally sweetened—your body feels fueled instead of crashed an hour later.
  • Five minutes of prep means you're eating before your coffee even gets cold.
02 -
  • If your batter sits for more than a few minutes, it gets thick and weird—mix it right before you cook or add a tiny splash of water to loosen it up.
  • The protein powder brand actually matters; some ones create a slightly rubbery texture while others keep things silky, so it's worth experimenting to find your favorite.
03 -
  • Cook on medium-low instead of medium if your skillet tends to run hot, because burnt edges with an undercooked center is the main way these go wrong.
  • Make extra batter and refrigerate it for the next morning—it actually gets slightly better as it sits because flavors meld, though you might need to add a splash of water to loosen it.
