Ingredients
1 large egg
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
⅓ cup milk (any kind – almond, oat, or Fairlife)
1–2 tablespoons flax meal (optional, for fiber and omega-3s)
⅓ cup flour (gluten-free 1:1 blend or regular)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 25–26g protein per scoop)
1 tablespoon maple syrup (or stevia/monk fruit for low sugar)
¾ teaspoon baking powder
Optional Toppings Before Baking:
Raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, banana slices, or chocolate chips
Optional Toppings After Baking:
Nut butter, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, chia jam, or a pat of salted butter
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12–14 oz oven-safe dish or ramekin with nonstick spray.
-
Mix the batter. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, Greek yogurt, milk, flour, protein powder, flax meal, maple syrup (or stevia), and baking powder until smooth.
-
Add toppings. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish, filling it about ¾ full. Add your favorite toppings on top.
-
Bake. Place in the oven and bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.
-
Cool & serve. Let it cool for 5–10 minutes before adding your favorite toppings and digging in!
Notes
- Protein powder: Choose one with minimal additives and no artificial aftertaste. Whey or high-quality plant protein both work.
- Meal prep: You can bake 4–5 bowls at once, cover, and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- To reheat: Microwave for 30–45 seconds or warm in a toaster oven.
- To freeze: Let cool completely, then freeze up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
- Texture tip: Don’t overmix! Gently combine until just smooth for a light and fluffy texture.
- Flavor ideas: Try adding cocoa powder for a chocolate version or pumpkin spice for a fall twist.
