Ingredients
  

For the Pancake Bowl
  • 1/3 cup ripe banana or 1/3 cup applesauce
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup oat flour or all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup protein powder or more flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1-2 tbsp milk of choice if necessary
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup optional, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Equipment

  • Microwavable bowl
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Grease a microwavable bowl with cooking spray. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) if you plan to bake it.
  2. In a bowl, mash the banana. Add the egg, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
  3. Stir in the oat flour, protein powder (or extra oat flour), and baking powder. Mix until you have a smooth batter. If the batter is too thick, gradually add 1–2 tablespoons of milk.
  4. Transfer the batter to the prepared bowl. If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
  5. Microwave on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes. If the batter rises too much, pause the microwave and restart in short intervals.
  6. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until the pancake bowl is set.
  7. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
