Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (dairy-free if needed)
  • 1/3 cup milk (any kind)
  • 12 Tablespoons flax meal
  • 1/3 cup flour (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 Tablespoon maple syrup or stevia
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Toppings before baking: raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, chocolate chips, bananas
  • Toppings after baking: nut butter, syrup, Greek yogurt, salted butter, chia jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 12-14 ounce glass dish or ramekin with nonstick spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, Greek yogurt, milk, flax meal, flour, protein powder, maple syrup or stevia, and baking powder. Stir until well blended.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and arrange desired toppings (like berries or chocolate chips) on top.
  4. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until the pancake is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
  5. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Add post-baking toppings like nut butter, chia jam, or Greek yogurt if desired.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use a flax egg and plant-based yogurt.
  • Adjust sweetness by swapping maple syrup for your favorite sugar substitute.
  • Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
