02 - 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - Pinch of salt
06 - 2 large eggs

11 - 1 tablespoon peanut butter
12 - 1 medium banana, sliced

# How-To:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish or bowl measuring 6 to 8 inches in diameter.
02 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
03 - Add eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir until a smooth batter forms without lumps.
04 - Transfer batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the base is set and lightly golden.
05 - Remove from oven and allow the pancake base to cool for 5 minutes at room temperature.
06 - Spread Greek yogurt evenly over the cooled pancake base to create a frosting layer.
07 - Warm peanut butter for 10 to 15 seconds in a microwave if needed for easier drizzling. Drizzle over the yogurt layer.
08 - Arrange banana slices evenly over the peanut butter. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired.
09 - Serve immediately while the pancake base is still warm and the yogurt is cool.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent enough to feel like dessert for breakfast, but the 25 grams of protein keeps you full until lunch.
  • You can prep the base ahead and assemble toppings in literal minutes, making rushed mornings actually manageable.
  • The texture contrast between the fluffy baked base, creamy yogurt, and soft banana slices feels intentional and delicious.
02 -
  • Don't skip the cooling step or your yogurt will get melty and slide around, turning your careful plating into a mess.
  • The batter will look thinner than you expect, but that's what gives you the fluffy pancake texture instead of something dense and heavy.
03 -
  • The secret to a fluffy base is not overmixing the batter; stir just until the dry and wet ingredients combine, then stop.
  • Let the peanut butter reach room temperature before drizzling so it flows like ribbons instead of blobs.
