Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C.

  2. Step 2

    Grease your pan. Lightly coat the bottom and sides with cooking spray or a very thin layer of butter/oil.

  3. Step 3

    Mix the wet ingredients. In a bowl, whisk together: 1 egg, 5 tbsp Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup milk, 1 1/2 tsp maple syrup/honey, 1/2 tsp vanilla

  4. Step 4

    Add the dry ingredients. Mix in: 1/3 cup flour, 1 1/2 scoops protein powder, 2 tsp baking powder, Pinch of salt Stir until just combined. Don’t aggressively beat it.

  5. Step 5

    It should resemble thick pancake batter—pourable, but definitely not watery. If it’s extremely thick because of your protein powder, add 1 tbsp milk at a time. Don’t make it runny.

  6. Step 6

    Pour it into your pan. Spread the batter evenly. Sprinkle 1–2 tbsp chocolate chips over the top. You can also use blueberries, strawberries, or sliced banana like the video.

  7. Step 7

    Bake at 350°F for 23–30 minutes. Start CHECKING at 23 minutes. You are looking for ā€œrisen/puffy top, slightly golden color, center NO LONGER jiggly, toothpick comes out without wet batterā€

  8. Step 8

    Rest for 5 minutes. Then eat it warm. I’d add a little maple syrup, berries, or extra Greek yogurt on top.
