# How to Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 356°F. Select a ramekin or oven-safe bowl with minimum 22 oz capacity.
02 - Add egg, yogurt, milk, flour, protein powder, sweetener, and baking powder directly to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until batter achieves smooth consistency with no dry pockets.
03 - Gently fold in any desired pre-bake toppings such as berries, chocolate chips, carrots, or nuts into the batter.
04 - Bake for 20 to 22 minutes until surface is lightly golden and center appears just set.
05 - Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. The center will continue to firm during cooling.
06 - Add desired post-bake toppings such as peanut butter, maple syrup, or yogurt. Serve warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It bakes unattended while you handle emails or scroll through your phone, no babysitting required.
  • High protein keeps you satisfied through mid-morning without the sugar crash.
  • Mix and bake in the same bowl—washing dishes becomes almost optional.
02 -
  • The batter will look too soft when it comes out—that's not a mistake; the residual heat continues cooking the center for another few minutes, and that's what creates the moist, tender crumb.
  • Your oven temperature matters more than you'd think; too hot and the edges set before the center rises, too cool and you get a dense pancake instead of fluffy.
03 -
  • Room-temperature ingredients blend smoother and produce a more uniform, fluffy texture than cold ones mixed straight from the fridge.
  • If you love it extra indulgent, swirl a spoonful of nut butter into the batter before baking so it creates ribbons throughout.
