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)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the pancake bowls.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, protein powder, baking powder, and sweetener. Stir them together until evenly mixed.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the large egg, high-protein vanilla Greek yogurt, and soy milk until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Add Optional Mix-ins: If you like, fold in fresh berries or sugar-free chocolate chips to add extra flavor and texture.
- Bake: Pour the batter into an oven-safe bowl or ramekin. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and Store: Allow the pancake bowl to cool completely. Refrigerate it for up to 3 to 4 days to keep it fresh.
- Reheat and Serve: When ready to eat, reheat the pancake bowl in the microwave for 40-60 seconds. Serve topped with additional Greek yogurt or sugar-free maple syrup if desired.
