Ingredients

• For the Protein Pancake Base:
• 1/2 cup (60 g) oat flour
• 1 scoop (30 g) vanilla protein powder
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
• 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• For the Toppings:
• 3/4 cup (180 g) Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla, low-fat or full-fat)
• 1 tbsp peanut butter (natural, smooth or crunchy)
• 1 medium banana, sliced
• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe bowl (about 6-8 inches in diameter).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

Add eggs, almond milk, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir until a smooth batter forms.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly.

Step 5

Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the pancake base is set and lightly golden. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Spread Greek yogurt evenly over the cooled pancake base to create the frosting.

Step 7

Warm the peanut butter slightly (microwave for 10–15 seconds if needed), then drizzle over the yogurt.

Step 8

Arrange banana slices on top. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately, and enjoy!

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To ensure a perfect base, make sure your baking dish is well-greased so the pancake releases easily. Whisking the dry ingredients first helps prevent any clumps from the protein powder for a smoother batter consistency.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a dairy-free version, simply use a plant-based yogurt alternative. If you have a nut allergy, swap the peanut butter for sunflower seed butter. You can also experiment with almond or chocolate butter for different flavor profiles.

Serviervorschläge

Personalize your bowl by adding a variety of toppings such as fresh berries, chia seeds, or a sprinkle of granola for extra texture and nutrients. It is a versatile base that pairs well with many fruits.

Recipe FAQs

→ Can I make this breakfast bowl dairy-free?

Yes, simply substitute the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative and use dairy-free milk in the pancake batter. The texture and taste will remain delicious.

→ How long does the pancake base stay fresh for meal prep?

The baked pancake base keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container. Add the yogurt, peanut butter, and fresh banana just before serving for the best texture and flavor.

→ What type of protein powder works best?

Vanilla whey or casein protein powder blends smoothly and provides a fluffy texture. Plant-based protein powders also work well, though the pancake may be slightly denser. Avoid unflavored powders if you prefer more sweetness.

→ Can I substitute the peanut butter?

Absolutely. Almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter make excellent alternatives. For a chocolate twist, try melted dark chocolate or chocolate hazelnut spread as the drizzle.

→ Is this suitable for freezing?

The baked pancake base freezes well for up to 1 month. Wrap individual portions tightly in plastic wrap and freeze. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then add fresh toppings before serving.
