FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, but Greek yogurt provides a thicker consistency. Regular yogurt may require an extra tablespoon of flour to help it set.
Can I make this without eggs?
Yes, substitute the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons water per egg) for a vegan version.
Can I use frozen berries?
Absolutely! Just add them straight into the batter—no need to thaw.
How do I prevent the bake from being too watery?
If using frozen berries, toss them in a little almond flour before adding to the batter to absorb excess moisture.
What’s the best way to serve this?
It’s delicious on its own or topped with maple syrup, nut butter, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Can I add more sweetness?
Yes! If you prefer a sweeter bake, increase the maple syrup or honey to taste.
Is this good for meal prep?
Yes, this bake stores well in the fridge, making it a great make-ahead breakfast.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes, just use a larger baking dish and increase the baking time by 5-10 minutes.
How do I know when it’s done baking?
The center should be set and not jiggly when gently shaken. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
Can I make this in muffin cups?
Yes! Pour the batter into greased muffin tins and bake for 20-25 minutes.
