Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tsp maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)

Dry Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp protein powder of choice
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp baking powder

Toppings

  • ¼ cup toppings of choice (e.g., fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or granola)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly grease an oven-safe circular dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the pancake bowl.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In the greased dish, combine the egg, plain Greek yogurt, milk, and maple syrup. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogenous, ensuring the flavors blend well.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the whole wheat flour, protein powder, cinnamon, and baking powder into the wet mixture. Whisk gently but thoroughly until the batter is smooth with no lumps.
  4. Top and Bake: Add your choice of toppings evenly over the surface of the batter. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the pancake bowl is fully cooked.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the pancake bowl to cool slightly before serving or storing to enhance texture and flavor.
