Critical Success Points

  • Prepare dry ingredients accurately and do not use only casein protein powder.
  • Do not overmix dough after adding wet ingredients.
  • Use parchment paper in air fryer and spray both sides to prevent sticking and ensure browning.
  • Air fry at correct temperature and time for proper texture.
  • Add liquid to glaze slowly to avoid runny consistency.

Safety Warnings

  • Do not touch hot air fryer basket or parchment directly after cooking.
  • Do not inhale powdered sweetener dust.
