Making these High Protein Pancake Bowls is a straightforward process. You’ll start by mixing eggs and yogurt, then add your sweetener and ingredients before cooking them to golden perfection. This will take just a few simple steps—no complicated techniques required!

Gather These Items

To create these delicious pancake bowls, you will need the following ingredients:

• 3 large Eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan option)
• 1 cup Greek Yogurt (or non-dairy yogurt)
• Sweetener to taste
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (or gluten-free blend)
• 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1 cup Fresh Berries

Directions to Follow
