03 - 1/2 cup rolled oats
04 - 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
05 - 1/2 medium banana, mashed

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a small ovenproof dish or 2 individual ramekins.
02 - Combine eggs, almond milk, oats, protein powder, mashed banana, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in blender. Process until smooth consistency is achieved.
03 - Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until center is set and top is lightly golden. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
04 - Whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until smooth.
05 - Spread Greek yogurt frosting evenly over cooled pancake base.
06 - Warm peanut butter in microwave for 10 to 15 seconds until slightly warm. Drizzle over yogurt layer in decorative pattern.
07 - Top with sliced banana and sprinkle chia seeds if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent enough for dessert but packs 22 grams of protein per serving, so you'll actually stay full.
  • No fancy equipment needed beyond a blender, and the whole thing comes together in 30 minutes from start to satisfied stomach.
  • You can customize every layer to match your mood: swap the peanut butter, change your frosting flavor, add whatever toppings call to you that morning.
02 -
  • If you skip the cooling step after baking and frost while everything is still hot, your yogurt layer will turn into a thin, sad puddle instead of staying creamy and frosting-like.
  • Warming the peanut butter before drizzling isn't just for looks—cold peanut butter clumps and slides instead of creating that Instagram-worthy swirl, and the temperature actually brings out more flavor.
03 -
  • Use a blender instead of a fork or bowl to mash your batter—the oats will completely disappear into smoothness instead of leaving grainy bits that interrupt the texture.
  • If your pancake base cracks slightly on top, that's completely normal and won't affect the final bowl once you cover it with frosting, so don't stress about achieving perfect smoothness.
