How to Make Baked Protein Pancake Bowls

I used a small hand mixer for drinks to blend everything. It made mixing quick and smooth, with no lumps.

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish or individual ramekins.
2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

1. Add wet ingredients: Beat the eggs, then stir in milk, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup.
2. Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Fold in half of the fresh berries.
3. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared dish or ramekins. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

1. Add toppings: Remove from the oven and top with remaining berries, banana slices, nut butter, granola, or chia seeds.
2. Serve: Enjoy warm for breakfast, or portion into containers for healthy meal prep throughout the week.
