Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

1 egg
50 g yogurt (vanilla or unflavored)
70 ml milk (I use soy or almond, but any milk will work!)
35 g flour (all-purpose)
25 g protein powder
5 g zero-calorie granulated sweetener (or sweetener of choice, 1 tsp)
1/2 tsp baking powder

Directions

Let’s get baking! Follow these simple steps for fluffy pancake perfection:

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Get that cozy vibe going!
Grab an oven-safe glass bowl and toss in all the ingredients. Mix until smooth and harmonious.
If you’re making a bunch for meal prep, divvy up the ingredients into each bowl separately. No mixing chaos!
Add your choice of toppings—think fresh fruit, sugar-free chocolate chips, or maybe even some shredded carrots. Keep it plain if you’re feeling minimalist.
Pop those bowls into the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes. The aroma will be reason enough to stick around!
Remove from the oven, and let cool for 5-10 minutes. This is the hardest part. Trust me!
Serve with extra yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, or whatever tickles your fancy! 😋
