Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tsp maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
Dry Ingredients
- ⅓ cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tbsp protein powder of choice
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp baking powder
Toppings
- ¼ cup toppings of choice (such as fresh berries, nuts, seeds, or sliced banana)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly grease an oven-safe circular dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In the prepared dish, combine the egg, plain Greek yogurt, milk, and maple syrup. Whisk these together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the whole wheat flour, protein powder, cinnamon, and baking powder to the wet mixture in the dish. Whisk everything together until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Add Toppings and Bake: Evenly distribute your chosen toppings on top of the batter. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the pancake bowl to cool slightly before serving or storing. Enjoy warm with additional toppings if desired.
Notes
- Use a non-stick spray or butter to grease the baking dish for easier removal.
- Protein powder type will affect the flavor; vanilla or unflavored protein powder work best.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or sweetener.
- For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
- This recipe can be doubled for meal prep or larger servings.
