Description

These baked protein pancake bowls are fluffy, high in protein, and perfect for meal prep. They bake into a soft, cake-like breakfast that feels indulgent while still being nutritious, with endless flavor variations.


Ingredients

1 egg

50 g yogurt (vanilla or plain)

70 ml milk (soy, almond, or any milk of choice)

35 g all-purpose flour

25 g protein powder (vanilla or white chocolate; vegan works best, reduce liquid slightly if using whey)

5 g granulated sweetener (about 1 tsp; zero-calorie if preferred)

1/2 tsp baking powder


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F).
  2. Add all ingredients to an oven-safe glass bowl and mix until smooth.
  3. Add toppings of choice, such as fresh fruit, sugar-free chocolate chips, or shredded carrots, or leave plain.
  4. Bake for 20–22 minutes, until set and lightly golden.
  5. Remove from oven and cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
  6. Enjoy as-is, or top with yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, or butter.

Notes

Use chocolate protein powder for a rich, brownie-like version.

Add shredded carrots and cinnamon for a carrot cake flavor.

Mix in berries, apples, or diced fruit before baking.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Reheat in the microwave (30–45 seconds) or oven (160°C for 8–10 minutes).

Gluten-free flour or oat flour can be used instead of all-purpose flour.
