Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe bowl (about 6-8 inches in diameter).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

Add eggs, almond milk, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir until a smooth batter forms.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly.

Step 5

Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the pancake base is set and lightly golden. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Spread Greek yogurt evenly over the cooled pancake base to create the frosting.

Step 7

Warm the peanut butter slightly (microwave for 10–15 seconds if needed), then drizzle over the yogurt.

Step 8

Arrange banana slices on top. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately, and enjoy!

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Allow the baked pancake base to cool for at least 5 minutes before applying the Greek yogurt. This prevents the yogurt from melting and ensures it stays thick and creamy as a frosting. You can also bake the base in a small microwave-safe bowl if you are short on time, though the oven provides the best texture.

Varianten und Anpassungen

To make this recipe dairy-free, simply swap the Greek yogurt for a plant-based yogurt alternative. For a nut-free version, sunflower seed butter is a great substitute for peanut butter. You can also experiment with chocolate or almond butter for different flavor profiles.

Serviervorschläge

Top your bowl with fresh berries, chia seeds, or a sprinkle of granola for added crunch and nutrients. For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle a little extra honey or maple syrup over the banana slices just before serving.

Recipe FAQs

→ Can I make the pancake base ahead of time?

Yes, bake the pancake base up to 2 days in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Assemble with toppings just before serving for the best texture and freshness.

→ What protein powder works best?

Vanilla whey or casein protein powder yields the best results, but plant-based options like pea protein also work. The powder helps create a fluffy texture while boosting protein content significantly.

→ How can I make this dairy-free?

Substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt, almond yogurt, or another plant-based alternative. Use dairy-free protein powder and ensure your almond milk is certified dairy-free.

→ Can I use different toppings?

Absolutely. Swap peanut butter for almond butter or sunflower seed butter. Add fresh berries, chia seeds, hemp hearts, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of granola for extra crunch and nutrients.

→ Is this suitable for meal prep?

Perfect for meal prep. Bake multiple pancake bases on Sunday, store them in the fridge or freezer, then quickly assemble with fresh toppings throughout the week for fast, protein-rich breakfasts.

→ Why is it called a pizza bowl?

The round shape resembles a personal pizza, with the pancake base acting as the crust and the Greek yogurt frosting as the sauce. It's a fun, creative way to present breakfast ingredients.
