Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (about 30g)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings
- Fresh fruit
- Nut butter
- Greek yogurt
- Chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Ramekins: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease 2–3 oven-safe ramekins or small bowls to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with almond milk, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients and stir gently until the batter is fully combined and smooth.
- Fill Ramekins and Bake: Evenly divide the batter into the prepared ramekins. Place them on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until the pancake bowls are puffed up and golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Let the baked pancake bowls cool for a few minutes to set. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nut butter, Greek yogurt, or chopped nuts. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- To make this recipe dairy-free, choose plant-based protein powder and use non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk.
