Ingredients
  

For the Pancake Bowl
  • ½ ripe banana banana or ⅓ cup applesauce
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • cup oat flour or all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup protein powder or more flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 to 2 milk of choice if necessary
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup optional, to taste
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • a pinch salt

Equipment

  • Microwavable bowl
  • Oven
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Grease a microwavable bowl with cooking spray. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) if you plan to bake the bowl.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the banana. Add the egg, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Stir in the oat flour, protein powder, and baking powder. Mix until you have a smooth batter. If the batter is too thick, gradually add 1–2 tablespoons of milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
  4. Transfer the batter to the prepared bowl. If you like, 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.

Notes

Storage: Keep the pancake bowl in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds or enjoy cold.
Dietary Variations: Use gluten-free oat flour or almond flour for a gluten-free option. Swap Greek yogurt for plant-based yogurt and the egg for a flaxseed egg to make it dairy-free and vegan.
No Protein Powder: Replace the protein powder with ¼ cup extra oat flour or any flour of your choice. You may need to add more maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter taste.
