Ingredients
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
Optional Sauce
- 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 ensure it is ready for baking the pancake bowl.
- Mix the batter. In an oven-safe glass bowl, combine the egg, yogurt, milk, all-purpose flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, granulated sweetener, and baking powder. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Add chocolate. Sprinkle the chopped sugar-free milk chocolate evenly over the surface of the batter.
- Bake. Place the bowl in the oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until the center is set and the pancake bowl is cooked through.
- Cool. Remove the bowl from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. This helps the pancake firm up slightly for better texture.
- Prepare the sauce (optional). In a small bowl, mix together the sugar-free maple syrup, cocoa powder, and milk until smooth. Drizzle this chocolate sauce over the warm pancake bowl just before serving for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use any milk alternative (soy, almond) or high-protein light milk as preferred.
- Make sure the bowl is oven-safe to avoid any accidents during baking.
- The sugar-free chocolate and sweetener options make this recipe suitable for low sugar diets.
- Allow cooling time to avoid burning your mouth and to improve texture before eating.
- Adjust the sweetness and cocoa levels according to your taste preference.
