- Microwave times can vary depending on your appliance – start with
- 5 minutes and adjust as needed.
- Let the cake rest for 1-2 minutes after cooking to achieve the ideal cake-like consistency.
- Experiment with toppings like fresh berries, nut butter, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to customize your breakfast.
- For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of plant-based protein powder to the dry ingredients.
- Use a fork to test doneness – it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- If the cake seems too dense, try adding an extra splash of almond milk to lighten the batter.
