Equipment

  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • 2 (6-ounce) Oven-Safe Ramekins or Small Bowls

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease two 6-ounce oven-safe ramekins or small bowls with cooking spray.
Combine Dry Ingredients
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Combine Wet Ingredients
  1. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Mix Batter
  1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay. If using, gently fold in the fresh berries now.
Fill Ramekins
  1. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared ramekins.
Bake
  1. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serve
  1. Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with Greek yogurt, extra berries, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

For an extra protein boost, serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt. These pancake bowls are great for meal prep! Bake them ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven. Feel free to customize with different add-ins like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or other fruits. Adjust sweetener to your preference.
