  • Total Time: 40-45 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • ⅓ cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons protein powder of choice
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup toppings of choice

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly grease an oven-safe circular dish to ensure the pancake bowl doesn't stick.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In the prepared dish, add the egg, Greek yogurt, milk, and maple syrup. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the whole wheat flour, protein powder, cinnamon, and baking powder to the wet mixture. Whisk again until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. Add Toppings and Bake: Sprinkle your desired toppings evenly over the batter in the dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the pancake bowl to cool before storing or enjoying it straight away. This step helps the bowl firm up slightly and makes it easier to handle.
