# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease four individual oven-safe bowls or ramekins. This crucial step ensures your Baked Protein Pancake Bowls | High-Protein Breakfast won't stick and will be easy to serve.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups oat flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. This creates the wholesome pancake foundation, ensuring an even distribution of leavening agents for a fluffy texture.
03 -
In a separate medium bowl, whisk 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder, 2 tbsp maple syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until thoroughly combined and smooth. This forms your protein powerhouse blend.
04 -
Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough Baked Protein Pancake Bowls | High-Protein Breakfast. A few small lumps are perfectly acceptable.
05 -
Divide the pancake batter evenly among the four prepared oven-safe bowls. Sprinkle 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen), 1/4 cup chopped almonds, and 2 tbsp chia seeds over the top of each bowl for vibrant toppings and texture.
06 -
Place the bowls on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the Baked Protein Pancake Bowls | High-Protein Breakfast are golden brown, puffed, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
07 -
Carefully remove the bowls from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with additional maple syrup, for garnish, if desired, and enjoy your delicious high-protein breakfast.
# Notes:
01 -
Substitution Tip: Feel free to swap oat flour for whole wheat flour or a gluten-free all-purpose blend. For the protein powder, any flavor works, but vanilla complements the other ingredients beautifully.
