A quick, fluffy protein pancake bowl made with banana, oats, and protein powder. This microwave breakfast is soft, satisfying, and ready in minutes.

Ingredients

  • ½ ripe banana (or ⅓ cup applesauce)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • ⅓ cup (30 g) oat flour (or all purpose flour)
  • ¼ cup (20 g) protein powder (or more flour)
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 to 2 tbsp milk of choice (if necessary)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • a pinch of salt
  • Chocolate chips for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Grease a microwave-safe bowl with cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
  3. Add the egg, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
  4. Stir in the oat flour, protein powder, and baking powder.
  5. Mix until a smooth batter forms. If the batter is too thick, gradually add 1–2 tbsp of milk as needed.
  6. Transfer the batter to the prepared bowl and sprinkle chocolate chips on top if desired.
  7. Microwave on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes until set. If the batter rises too much, pause and continue microwaving in short intervals.
  8. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20–25 minutes until set.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Applesauce can replace banana for a slightly different flavor and texture.
  • Any milk such as almond, oat, or dairy milk works well.
  • Add toppings like berries, nut butter, yogurt, or extra maple syrup when serving.
  • For extra sweetness, mix chocolate chips directly into the batter instead of only topping.
