- Add oat flour, whey protein, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix just until combined. Don’t overmix!
- Fold in chocolate chips or other mix-ins.

Notes
*You can use greek or natural yoghurt, but natural yoghurt gives a softer, more moist crumb.
*Whey can make baking a bit drier—if your batter looks extremely thick, add a splash of milk or extra yoghurt (1–2 tbsp) to loosen it.
