  • ¼ cup all‑purpose flour

  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 3 tablespoons corn starch

  2. In a bowl, blender, or food processor, combine eggs, Greek yogurt, sweetener (if using), flour, vanilla, corn starch, baking soda, and protein powder (if using). Mix until smooth.

  3. Prepare your baking pan (bread pan, cake pan, or muffins) by spraying with cooking spray or lining with parchment paper.

  4. Pour the batter into the pan. Optionally top with sugar‑free chocolate chips, cinnamon, or other toppings.

  5. Bake for:
