FAQs

1. Can I make this gluten-free?

Yes—you can swap oats for certified gluten-free oats or use almond flour to keep it gluten-free and still maintain a hearty texture.

2. What protein sources work best?

Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, protein powder, or a combination of oats and egg all work wonderfully, depending on your preferred texture and dietary needs.

3. Can I skip the egg?

5. Is this bake suitable for meal prep?

Definitely—it stores well in the fridge and can be made ahead for grab-and-go breakfasts or snacks.

6. How do I prevent sogginess?

Make sure to gently fold the berries so they don’t burst completely, and don’t overmix the batter.

7. Can I add spices?

Yes—cinnamon, nutmeg, or lemon zest can elevate the flavor beautifully.

8. Could I top it with nuts?

Absolutely—slivered almonds, chopped walnuts, or pecans are great for added crunch.

9. Can the bake be made dairy-free?

Totally—use dairy-free yogurt or a plant-based protein powder to suit your needs.
