Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 50 g vanilla or unflavoured yogurt
- 70 ml high protein light milk, soy milk, or almond milk
- 35 g all purpose flour
- 25 g chocolate protein powder
- 5 g cocoa powder
- 5 g granulated sweetener of choice
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 12 g sugar free milk chocolate, chopped
Chocolate Sauce (Optional)
- 1/2 tbsp sugar free maple syrup
- 1 tsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (356°F) to prepare for baking your protein pancake bowl.
- Mix the Batter: In an oven-safe glass bowl, combine the egg, yogurt, milk, flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, sweetener, and baking powder. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Add Chocolate Chunks: Evenly sprinkle the chopped sugar-free milk chocolate pieces over the batter to ensure bursts of chocolate in each bite.
- Bake the Pancake Bowl: Place the bowl in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the center is fully set and cooked through.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the bowl from the oven and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly, making it easier and more enjoyable to eat.
- Prepare the Chocolate Sauce (Optional): Mix together sugar-free maple syrup, cocoa powder, and milk until smooth. Drizzle this sauce over the warm pancake bowl before serving for an extra chocolatey touch.
