Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
  2. To kick things off, set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Preheating is essential, as it ensures that your Baked Protein Pancake Bowls cook evenly and rise perfectly. Take a moment to enjoy the anticipation as the oven warms up, creating the perfect sanctuary for your pancake bowls.
  3. Step 2: Prepare Your Mixing Bowl
  4. Grab a large mixing bowl and start by combining your dry ingredients: oatmeal, protein powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk these together thoroughly. Feel the texture of the oats and the fluffiness of the powder as you mix. This foundation will create the perfect base for your tasty pancake bowls.
  5. Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together your milk and egg until well blended. Now, gently stir this mixture into the dry ingredients you prepared earlier. The consistency should start to resemble a thick batter—vibrant and inviting! Don’t forget to fold in any extras like vanilla or maple syrup to give your Baked Protein Pancake Bowls some sweet character.
  7. Step 4: Prepare Your Baking Dish
  8. Grab a baking dish and grease it well. You can use butter, oil, or a cooking spray to ensure those pancake bowls slide out easily after baking. Visualize the joy of lifting that first slice out of the pan, revealing a beautifully golden creation—get excited!
  9. Step 5: Pour and Bake
  10. Pour your batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing it out to ensure even baking. Slide it into the oven and let the magic happen! Set a timer for about 20-25 minutes. During this time, make yourself comfortable while glancing over at the oven—watch it rise and develop that crispy edge you crave.
  11. Step 6: Cool and Serve
  12. Once the timer goes off, remove your dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This is the moment to admire your handiwork! Cut it into delightful bowls and feel free to top with your favorite fruits, nuts, or drizzles. Experience the joy as you share your tasty Baked Protein Pancake Bowls with family and friends.
