Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or spelt, oat, gluten-free, or buckwheat flour)
- 1/4 cup protein powder (e.g., Caramelised White Chocolate Premium Protein from MacroMike)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free granulated sweetener (or regular sugar, honey, or maple syrup)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup high-protein vanilla Greek yogurt (e.g., Yopro High Protein Vanilla Greek yogurt)
- 2 tablespoons soy milk (or any preferred milk)
Optional Add-ins
- Fresh berries (as desired)
- Sugar-free chocolate chips (as desired)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking your pancake bowl evenly.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, protein powder, baking powder, and sweetener if you are using it. This creates the base of your batter.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, high-protein vanilla Greek yogurt, and soy milk until smooth and well combined.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Add optional mix-ins: If desired, gently fold in fresh berries or sugar-free chocolate chips to add extra flavor and texture to your pancake bowl.
- Bake the batter: Pour the batter into an oven-safe bowl or ramekin. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until the center is fully set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and store: Let the pancake bowl cool completely to room temperature, then refrigerate. It can be stored for 3-4 days, making it perfect for meal prep.
- Reheat and serve: When ready to eat, reheat in the microwave for 40-60 seconds. Top with additional Greek yogurt or sugar-free maple syrup if desired for extra creaminess and sweetness.
Notes
- Use your choice of flour depending on dietary requirements: spelt, oat, gluten-free, or buckwheat all work well.
- Protein powder flavors can be varied to suit your taste preferences; caramelised white chocolate flavor gives a sweet undertone.
- Sugar-free sweeteners help reduce calories but regular sugar, honey, or maple syrup can be used if preferred.
- Adding fresh berries or sugar-free chocolate chips provides extra texture and flavor but is optional.
- Refrigerate leftovers to maintain freshness and make weekday mornings easier.
- Microwave reheating time may vary depending on your appliance’s power.
