  • Total Time: 20-25 minutes (oven), 7-8 minutes (microwave including prep)
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (2% preferred, 0% or 5% also work)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup + 1 tbsp oat flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • 1 scoop whey protein powder
  • ¼ cup milk of choice (cow’s, almond, oat, or cashew)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

Toppings

  • Fresh or frozen berries
  • Banana slices (optional)
  • Chocolate chips (optional)
  • Additional Greek yogurt (optional)
  • Maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Oven Method Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, egg, oat flour, whey protein powder, milk, baking powder, and salt. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Bake: Pour the batter into the greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes. Check for doneness when the edges turn golden and the center is set and firm to the touch.
  4. Top and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and top with your choice of yogurt, fresh or frozen berries, banana slices, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy immediately.
  5. Microwave Method Preparation: Grease a large microwave-safe bowl to prevent sticking.
  6. Mix Ingredients: Add all the base ingredients to the microwave-safe bowl. Whisk together until smooth.
  7. Microwave Cooking: Cook the mixture on high for 2–3 minutes. Start checking at 2 minutes; the pancake bowl is ready when the center is no longer jiggly and fully set.
  8. Top and Serve: Add your preferred toppings such as berries, banana slices, chocolate chips, yogurt, or maple syrup and enjoy your quick protein-packed meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute the oat flour with all-purpose flour, but oat flour increases the protein and fiber content.
  • Adjust milk quantity slightly if batter is too thick or too thin.
  • Use a higher-fat Greek yogurt (like 2% or 5%) for a richer taste and creamier texture.
  • The recipe yields a single serving but can be easily doubled or tripled for more servings.
  • Microwave times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave; keep an eye to avoid overcooking.
  • For added flavor, consider adding vanilla extract or cinnamon to the batter.
  • Use fresh toppings for best taste, or frozen berries if fresh are not available.
