Ingredients

½ ripe banana or ⅓ cup applesauce
1 egg
2 tbsp Greek yogurt
⅓ cup (30 g) oat flour or all purpose flour
¼ cup (20 g) protein powder or more flour
½ tsp baking powder
1 to 2 tbsp milk of choice if necessary
1 tbsp maple syrup optional, to taste
½ tsp vanilla extract
a pinch of salt

Instructions

Grease a microwavable bowl with cooking spray and preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), if baking it.
In a bowl, mash the banana, then add egg, Greek yogurt, maple syrup to taste, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Stir in oat flour, protein powder (or more oat flour) and baking powder. Mix until a smooth batter forms - if it is too thick, gradually add 1–2 tbsp of milk as needed.
Transfer the batter to the prepared bowl and sprinkle with chocolate chips on top, if desired.
Microwave on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes. If the batter rises too much, pause and restart in short intervals.
Alternatively, bake in hot oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20–25 minutes or until set.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings

Notes

Storage – Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds or enjoy cold.
Dietary variations – Use gluten-free oat flour or almond flour for a GF option. Swap Greek yogurt for plant-based yogurt and egg for a flaxseed egg to make it dairy-free and vegan.
No protein powder – Replace with ¼ cup extra oat flour or any flour of choice. Add more maple syrup, if necessary.
Nutritional values – Nutritional values are approximations. They do not include the optional maple syrup and toppings like chocolate chips.
