Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 scoop quality protein powder (about 30g)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk or plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen fruit (such as berries)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat and Prepare – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.
  2. Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients – In a large bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1 scoop protein powder, and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Whisk together to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  3. Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients – In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs. Add 1 cup milk or plant-based milk, 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Bring Wet and Dry Together – Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep a light texture.
  5. Step 5: Add Fruits and Pour – Gently fold in 1/2 cup fresh or frozen fruit. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Step 6: Bake Until Golden – Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Step 7: Serve Warm and Enjoy – Let cool slightly before scooping into bowls or eating directly from the pan, topped with your favorite garnishes.

Notes

  • Use a quality protein powder you enjoy for best taste and texture.
  • Stir ingredients until just combined to avoid a dense pancake.
  • Adjust milk quantity depending on protein powder absorbency to get a smooth batter.
  • Check for doneness starting at 20 minutes to prevent overbaking.
  • Fresh fruits add moisture; if using frozen fruits, reduce added liquid slightly.
