Recipe Notes

  • For a creamier texture, you can substitute some of the milk with yogurt.
  • If you prefer a sweeter bake, add a tablespoon of maple syrup or honey to the batter.
  • Letting the bake rest for a few minutes before serving helps it to firm up and makes slicing easier.
  • For an extra touch, sprinkle some cinnamon on top before baking for added warmth and spice.
