# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes decadent enough to satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping you full until lunch without the guilt.
  • The whole thing comes together in under 30 minutes, which means you can actually make it on a weekday without stress.
  • Your protein intake practically takes care of itself, so you can stop obsessing about hitting your macros.
02 -
  • If your batter isn't completely smooth, you'll get weird chunks of unblended oats, so don't skip the blender step thinking you can just stir it by hand.
  • The pancake base continues to set as it cools, so resist the urge to frosting it while it's still warm or your layers will melt into one another.
03 -
  • Use 0% Greek yogurt if you're watching calories, or 2% if you want the frosting to feel extra creamy and indulgent.
  • If you forget to mash your banana before blending, just throw the whole thing in and let the blender do the work for you.
