High-Protein Breakfast Bowl
This high-protein breakfast bowl is a quick, cozy, and energizing morning favorite, combining fluffy pancakes with the nourishment of Greek yogurt and protein powder.
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons milk (almond milk works well)
- 1/2 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1/4 cup oat flour (or regular flour)
- 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
Preparation
- Add the egg whites to a glass bowl and whip until bubbly.
- Add the Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
- Add the oat flour, protein powder, cinnamon and baking powder. Stir slowly until just combined, pushing down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed.
Cooking
- Microwave for 3 to 3.5 minutes or until the pancake bowl is fully set.
- Leave the bowl in the microwave for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to finish setting.
Serving
- Add your favorite toppings such as fruit, nuts, nut butter or a drizzle of syrup.
Notes
For extra fluffiness, whip the egg whites slightly longer to incorporate more air. Use oat flour for a tender, cake-like texture or regular flour for a classic pancake feel. Add toppings like berries, banana slices or chocolate chips for variety. Make two bowls at once for an easy meal prep breakfast.
