- 25g protein powder (vanilla or white chocolate recommended)
- 5g sweetener of choice (optional, about 1 tsp)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Optional toppings: berries, chocolate chips, shredded carrot, peanut butter, syrup, yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) ensuring it reaches the right temperature for even baking.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Select a ramekin or oven-safe glass bowl with approximately 650ml capacity to hold the batter.

- Mix Batter: Stir the mixture thoroughly until it becomes smooth and well combined without lumps.
- Add Toppings: Before baking, add any desired toppings like fresh berries, chocolate chips, or shredded carrot for extra texture and flavor.
- Bake: Place the bowl in the oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes, allowing the center to finish setting.
- Serve: Top with peanut butter, syrup, extra yogurt, or enjoy the bowl plain as a wholesome high-protein treat.
Notes
- Use gluten-free flour options like buckwheat or oat flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Protein powder flavors like vanilla or white chocolate work best, but feel free to experiment.
- The batter can be customized with various toppings before baking to add texture and flavor.
- Let the pancake cool before removing or eating to avoid breaking apart as it finishes setting.
