Ingredients

Scale

1 large egg

⅓ cup thick Greek yogurt or skyr (plain or vanilla)

3 tbsp milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (or favorite flavor)

2 tbsp all-purpose or oat flour

½ tsp baking powder

1–2 tsp sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or sugar alternative)

Optional mix-ins: handful of blueberries, chocolate chips, or nut butter

Optional toppings: yogurt, nut butter, maple syrup, fruit, cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease an oven-safe bowl or ramekin (around 2½ cups/650 ml capacity).
Whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Add protein powder, flour, baking powder, and sweetener. Mix until just combined — don’t overmix.
Fold in mix-ins like berries or chocolate chips, then pour batter into the prepared bowl.
Bake for 20–22 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is just set.
Cool for 5 minutes, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy warm with a spoon!

Notes

Dairy-free: Use coconut or almond yogurt and plant-based milk.

Gluten-free: Swap all-purpose flour for oat or almond flour.

Meal prep tip: Bake a few bowls, store in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheat in the microwave for 30–45 seconds.

Protein tip: Whey protein makes it fluffier; plant-based gives a heartier texture.
