Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 50 g yogurt (vanilla or unflavoured)
- 70 ml milk (soy, almond, or any milk of choice)
- 35 g all-purpose flour
- 25 g protein powder
- 5 g zero calorie granulated sweetener (or sweetener of choice, about 1 tsp)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
Optional Toppings
- Fresh fruit
- Sugar free chocolate chips
- Shredded carrots
- Extra yogurt
- Peanut butter
- Maple syrup
- Butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) to ensure it's ready for baking your pancake bowls.
- Mix Ingredients: In an oven-safe glass bowl, combine the egg, yogurt, milk, flour, protein powder, sweetener, and baking powder. Stir thoroughly until a smooth batter forms.
- Prepare Multiple Bowls (If Meal Prepping): If preparing several bowls for meal prep, add these ingredients separately to each oven-safe bowl before mixing to keep portions even.
- Add Toppings: Add your preferred toppings such as fresh fruits, sugar-free chocolate chips, or shredded carrots on top of the batter, or leave it plain if preferred.
- Bake: Place the bowl(s) in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes until the pancake is set and lightly golden on top.
- Cool Down: Remove from the oven carefully and allow the pancake bowl to cool for 5 to 10 minutes to set and avoid burning your mouth.
- Serve: Enjoy your baked protein pancake bowl as is, or with additional toppings like extra yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, or butter for added flavor and nutrition.
Notes
- Using an oven-safe glass bowl is important to prevent cracking or damage while baking.
- For vegan versions, substitute the egg with a flax egg and use plant-based yogurt and milk.
- Sweeteners can be adjusted based on personal preference or dietary requirements.
- You can customize toppings to keep it fresh and exciting each time.
- Ensure not to overbake to avoid dryness; the pancake should remain moist inside.
