Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup oats (ground into flour)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (whey, plant-based, or preferred flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon natural sweetener (honey or maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings (optional)

  • Fresh fruits (berries, banana slices)
  • Nuts (almonds, walnuts)
  • Dark chocolate chips
  • Nut butter (peanut or almond)
  • Additional drizzle of honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Your Bowl: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an oven-safe bowl or ramekin with oil or non-stick spray to ensure easy removal later.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground oats, protein powder, and baking powder. Stir well to evenly distribute all dry ingredients and prevent clumps.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Crack the eggs into the bowl, then add your milk of choice, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the batter is smooth but not overly runny, aiming for a thick pancake batter consistency.
  4. Pour Batter and Add Toppings: Transfer the batter to your prepared bowl. Sprinkle fresh fruits, nuts, or dark chocolate chips on top if desired for added flavor and texture.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the bowl in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pancake has risen, turned golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the baked pancake cool briefly, then add your favorite garnishes such as sliced fruit, nut butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use fresh protein powder for better texture and flavor.
  • Grind your own oats into fine flour for a smooth batter consistency.
  • Stir just until combined to keep the pancake tender and fluffy; avoid overmixing.
  • Start checking the baking time at 18 minutes as ovens vary to prevent overbaking.
  • If the batter feels too thick, add more milk one tablespoon at a time to reach desired consistency.
