Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 scoop protein powder (flavorless or vanilla recommended)
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (or substitute with all-purpose, oat, or gluten-free flour)
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs (or 2 flax eggs for vegan version)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or almond/plant-based yogurt for vegan)
  • 1/2 cup milk or plant-based milk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey

Add-ins and Toppings

  • 1/2 cup fresh berries or diced fruit (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line a bowl-safe baking dish to prevent sticking, ensuring easy removal after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: Combine the protein powder, whole wheat flour, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Stir well to evenly distribute all leavening and protein components.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, and your sweetener of choice. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until you achieve a smooth, thick batter.
  4. Fold in Fruits and Nuts: Gently fold in fresh berries or chopped fruit along with nuts or seeds, reserving some to sprinkle on top for added texture and visual appeal.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or heat-safe bowl, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Start checking at 18 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  6. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Remove from the oven, add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of Greek yogurt or nut butter, then enjoy your warm, fluffy Baked Protein Pancake Bowl.

Notes

  • Use a flavorless or vanilla protein powder for versatility in taste.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes; stir until just combined.
  • Fresh berries and quality yogurt greatly enhance flavor and texture.
  • Check the pancake bowl early to prevent drying out and overbaking.
  • Experiment with toppings for varied textures and flavors.
