04 - Mix thoroughly using a spoon or whisk until batter achieves smooth consistency with no visible lumps.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No flipping, no spatula skills required, just one bowl and the oven does the work while you get ready.
  • Packs 31 grams of protein per serving, keeping you full and energized through even the busiest mornings.
  • Endlessly customizable with berries, chocolate chips, or a swirl of nut butter, so it never gets boring.
02 -
  • The center will look slightly underdone when you pull it out, resist the urge to overbake or it will dry out.
  • Use a bowl that holds at least 650 ml, I learned this the hard way when batter bubbled over onto my oven floor.
  • If your protein powder is unflavored or unsweetened, add an extra teaspoon of sweetener or the pancake will taste flat.
03 -
  • Spray your bowl lightly with oil or line it with parchment if you want to pop the pancake out for plating, otherwise just eat it straight from the ramekin.
  • If the top browns too quickly, tent the bowl loosely with foil halfway through baking to protect the surface while the center finishes cooking.
  • Use frozen berries straight from the freezer, they release juice as they bake and create beautiful jammy streaks throughout the pancake.
