Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Bowl
- 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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) to prepare for baking your pancake bowl.
- Mix Ingredients: 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 batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Add Chocolate Chunks: Evenly sprinkle the chopped sugar-free milk chocolate over the batter to distribute chocolate taste and texture.
- Bake: Place the bowl in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until the center is set and the pancake bowl is cooked through.
- Cool: Remove the pancake bowl from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes so it firms up slightly, making it easier to enjoy.
- Prepare Sauce: For the optional chocolate sauce, mix the sugar-free maple syrup, cocoa powder, and milk until smooth. Drizzle the sauce over the warm pancake bowl before serving to add extra chocolate flavor.
