STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

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.
