Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 50g high-protein yogurt (Greek or skyr)
- 70ml milk (soy, almond, or dairy)
- 35g all-purpose flour (or oat, spelt, buckwheat, or gluten-free flour)
- 25g protein powder (vanilla or white chocolate recommended)
- 5g sweetener of choice (optional, about 1 tsp)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
Toppings (optional)
- Berries
- Chocolate chips
- Shredded carrot
- Peanut butter
- Syrup
- Additional yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) so it’s ready when you finish mixing your batter.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Use a ramekin or oven-safe glass bowl with at least 650ml capacity to hold the pancake mix and allow it room to rise.
- Add Ingredients: Into the bowl, combine the egg, high-protein yogurt, milk, flour, protein powder, sweetener (if using), and baking powder.
- Mix Batter: Stir all the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Add Toppings: Add any toppings you like before baking. Options include berries, chocolate chips, or shredded carrot for extra texture and flavor.
- Bake: Place the bowl in your preheated oven and bake for 20–22 minutes, or until the pancake is lightly golden on top and cooked through.
- Cool: Allow the baked pancake bowl to cool for 5–10 minutes; the center will continue to set as it cools.
- Serve: Add final toppings like peanut butter, syrup, or extra yogurt, or enjoy it as is.
Notes
- No banana needed in this recipe, keeping the flavor neutral and versatile.
- Use an oven-safe bowl that holds at least 650ml to ensure the pancake cooks evenly and does not overflow.
