Protein Pancake Bowl

Trying to find more diet-friendly options that include protein to keep me fuller for longer, I stumbled on this protein pancake that bakes in a bowl. Very customizable, so feel free to change up flavors, toppings and mix-ins. Mine (pictured below) uses the base ingredients listed below, and then I added cinnamon chips. Many of the base ingredients are measured by weight (for more accurate baking results) but I will try to remember the next time I make this and see if I can figure out the measurements in a way that you don't need a cooking scale for.

Protein Pancake Bowl

Base Ingredients:

• 25 g flour
• 1 scoop protein powder (25-30 g)
• 10 g zero calorie sweetener (Stevia, Monkfruit, etc.)
• 2 g cinnamon
• 2 g baking powder
• 1 egg
• 100 ml milk

Optional inclusions, frostings, and add-ins.

Directions:

1. Spray a small baking dish with non-stick spray. 
2. Add all of your base ingredients together until smooth. 
3. Add any additional inclusions (such as chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruits, or swirl in a cinnamon sugar/butter mixture). 
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until done.
5. Top with any desired frostings, syrups, toppings or whipped cream.

Marsha's Notes:

The original recipe I saw was for a cinnamon roll pancake bowl where she made a slurry of cinnamon, zero calorie sugar or brown sugar and some melted butter. Then she placed globs of it on top of her pancake batter and swirled it in with a knife. Then she made a simple white frosting to put on the top once it was baked and cooled. Probably from milk/water and zero calorie powdered sugar.

However, this would also be delicious with fresh fruit on top, candied nuts, chocolate chips, or any other mix-ins that you like combined with any flavor of protein powder that you want to use.
