High-Protein Baked Pancake Bowls

Muffin-sized pancake bowls that are high in protein, delicious, and perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 0.5 cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp sea salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2% recommended)
  • 0.5 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat)
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil or unsalted butter, cooled slightly

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Grind the rolled oats into a fine oat flour using a high-speed blender.
  3. Whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and sea salt in a large bowl until well combined.
  4. Beat the eggs in another bowl, then mix in the Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Stir until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined.
  6. Distribute the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, blend the oats until they’re a fine flour and avoid overmixing the batter for fluffier pancake bowls.
