Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 50 g yogurt (vanilla or unflavoured)
  • 70 ml milk (soy, almond, or any preferred milk)
  • 35 g all-purpose flour
  • 25 g protein powder
  • 5 g zero calorie granulated sweetener (or sweetener of choice, approx 1 tsp)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Toppings (Optional)

  • Fresh fruit (e.g., berries, sliced banana, chopped apples)
  • Sugar free chocolate chips
  • Shredded carrots
  • Extra yogurt
  • Peanut butter
  • Maple syrup
  • Butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) to ensure it is at the perfect temperature for baking the pancake bowls.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In an oven-safe glass bowl, add the egg, yogurt, milk, flour, protein powder, sweetener, and baking powder. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth batter without lumps.
  3. Prepare Multiple Bowls: If you are making several pancake bowls for meal prep, add each ingredient separately into each bowl and mix well to keep portions even.
  4. Add Toppings: Optionally, sprinkle your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, sugar-free chocolate chips, or shredded carrots atop the batter. You can also keep it plain for a simple option.
  5. Bake: Place the bowl(s) in the preheated oven and bake for 20-22 minutes until the pancakes are set and lightly golden on top.
  6. Cool: Remove the pancake bowls from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes to firm up and avoid burning your mouth when eating.
  7. Serve: Serve warm with additional toppings like extra yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, or butter as desired for added flavor and richness.

Notes

  • Use any milk you prefer, including plant-based alternatives like soy or almond milk.
  • Zero calorie sweetener helps keep the recipe low in sugar but can be substituted with regular sweeteners according to your preference.
  • If you like fluffier pancakes, ensure to mix the batter just until combined to avoid deflating the mixture.
  • These bowls are perfect for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to experiment with different protein powders such as whey, pea, or collagen.
  • Adding toppings before baking adds texture and flavor but you can also add fresh toppings after baking.
