Notes
Flavor variations: Use flavored protein powder like chocolate or vanilla to switch up the taste.
Vegan version: Substitute eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flax seeds + 3 tablespoons water) and use a plant-based milk like oat milk or coconut milk.
Sweetness: If you like it sweeter, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup into the batter before baking.
Fruit add-ins: Toss in some blueberries, diced apples, or chopped strawberries into the batter for added fruity goodness.
