1/2 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F).
- Add all ingredients to an oven-safe glass bowl and mix until smooth.

Notes
Use chocolate protein powder for a rich, brownie-like version.
Add shredded carrots and cinnamon for a carrot cake flavor.
Mix in berries, apples, or diced fruit before baking.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
