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. If baking, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
  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 a smooth batter forms. If the batter is too thick, gradually add 1–2 tablespoons of milk.
  4. Transfer the batter to the prepared bowl. You can sprinkle chocolate chips on top if desired.
  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 the preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until set.
  7. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
