  • Total Time: 27-30 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (dairy-free if needed)
  • 1/3 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1-2 Tablespoons flax meal
  • 1/3 cup flour (gluten-free if needed, e.g., Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 flour)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 Tablespoon maple syrup or stevia
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder

Toppings Before Baking

  • Raspberries (alternatively strawberries, blueberries, chocolate chips, bananas)

Toppings After Baking

  • Nut butter (or syrup, Greek yogurt, salted butter, chia jam)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 12-14 ounce glass dish or ramekin by spraying it with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, plain Greek yogurt, milk, flax meal, flour, protein powder, maple syrup (or stevia), and baking powder. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly blended and the batter is smooth.
  3. Add toppings before baking: Gently arrange your chosen toppings such as raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, chocolate chips, or banana slices evenly on top of the batter in the dish.
  4. Bake the pancake bowl: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the pancake is set in the middle and slightly golden brown on top.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve the baked protein pancake bowl directly in the dish, adding your desired toppings after baking such as nut butter, syrup, additional Greek yogurt, salted butter, or chia jam for extra flavor and richness.

Notes

  • Use dairy-free yogurt and milk alternatives to make this recipe dairy-free.
  • Adjust the amount of flax meal based on desired texture; 1 tablespoon for lighter texture, 2 for more fiber and thickness.
  • Feel free to swap the vanilla protein powder for any flavor of your choice but vanilla complements the sweetness best.
  • The flour can be made gluten-free by using a gluten-free 1:1 flour blend.
  • Let the pancake cool slightly before eating to enhance flavors and prevent burns.
