Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (2% preferred, but 0% and 5% work too)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup + 1 tbsp oat flour (all-purpose flour can be used as a substitute)
  • 1 scoop whey protein powder
  • ¼ cup milk of choice (cow’s, almond, oat, or cashew)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

Toppings

  • Fresh or frozen berries
  • Banana slices (optional)
  • Chocolate chips (optional)
  • Additional yogurt (optional)
  • Maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the pancake bowl.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a small baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the pancake.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, egg, oat flour, whey protein powder, milk, baking powder, and salt. Whisk everything together until you have a smooth batter.
  4. Bake: Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Bake until the edges turn golden and the center is fully set and not jiggly.
  5. Add Toppings and Serve: Remove from the oven and top with your selected toppings such as fresh berries, additional yogurt, or maple syrup. Serve warm and enjoy.
  6. Microwave Option - Prepare Bowl: For a quicker option, grease a large microwave-safe bowl instead of a baking dish.
  7. Microwave Batter: Add all the ingredients to the bowl and whisk until smooth. Microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes. Check at 2 minutes; the pancake is done when the center is no longer jiggly.
  8. Add Toppings and Serve: Top the microwaved pancake bowl with berries, yogurt, or maple syrup and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • If using all-purpose flour instead of oat flour, protein and fiber content will be slightly lower.
  • Milk choice can affect taste and texture; almond and oat milk offer a dairy-free alternative.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your oven or microwave wattage as necessary.
  • This recipe yields one serving but can easily be doubled for more portions.
  • Protein powder flavor (vanilla or unflavored) can be chosen according to preference.
