TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Slice is too dry
Try reducing baking time by 2-3 minutes, or add an extra tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the batter.
Not rising properly
Check that your baking powder is fresh (less than 6 months old). Also avoid overmixing the batter.
Gummy texture in center
This usually means under-baking. Use a toothpick to test - it should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Too dense
Make sure you're measuring protein powder correctly. Too much protein powder can make baked goods dense.
