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

For the best results, use a 6-8 inch oven-safe dish to ensure the pancake base reaches the right thickness. A whisk helps ensure the protein powder and oat flour are perfectly integrated into the wet ingredients, resulting in a smooth batter and fluffy base.

Varianten und Anpassungen

You can easily modify this recipe by using a plant-based yogurt alternative for a dairy-free version. Feel free to swap peanut butter for almond or chocolate butter, or use sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option. Extra texture can be added with toppings like fresh berries, chia seeds, or a sprinkle of granola.

Serviervorschläge

While best enjoyed immediately, this breakfast bowl is excellent for meal prep. You can bake the pancake base in advance and store it, then simply assemble with the yogurt, peanut butter drizzle, and sliced bananas when you are ready to eat.
