1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tbsp pure maple syrup (for drizzling)
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease four 8-ounce oven-safe ramekins or a 9x13 inch baking dish. This ensures your Baked Protein Pancake Bowls | Fluffy & Meal Prep Ready won't stick and will be easy to serve.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder, 1 tbsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp sea salt. Ensure there are no lumps for a smooth batter base.
03 -
In a separate medium bowl, whisk 2 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, and 2 tbsp melted coconut oil until well combined and smooth.
04 -
Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine for fluffy Baked Protein Pancake Bowls | Fluffy & Meal Prep Ready.
05 -
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Sprinkle 1 cup fresh mixed berries and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts over the top of each bowl. Swirl 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon into the batter if desired.
06 -
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The Baked Protein Pancake Bowls | Fluffy & Meal Prep Ready will puff up beautifully.
07 -
Let the bowls cool for 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle with 2 tbsp pure maple syrup for extra sweetness. Enjoy warm, or cool completely for convenient meal prep.
# Notes:
01 -
Feel free to swap almond milk for any dairy or non-dairy milk. For the protein powder, any flavor works, but vanilla complements the berries best.
02 -
These pancake bowls are perfect for meal prep! Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
03 -
Enhance your bowl with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of granola, or extra fresh fruit for added texture and nutrients.
