Baked protein pancake base with Greek yogurt frosting, peanut butter drizzle, and fresh banana slices for a satisfying morning meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Protein Pancake Base

01 - 2 large eggs
02 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 1/2 cup rolled oats
04 - 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
05 - 1/2 medium banana, mashed
06 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
08 - Pinch of salt

→ Greek Yogurt Frosting

09 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
10 - 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
11 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Toppings

12 - 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
13 - 1/2 medium banana, sliced
14 - 1 teaspoon chia seeds

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a small ovenproof dish or 2 individual ramekins with cooking spray or butter.
02 - Combine eggs, almond milk, rolled oats, protein powder, mashed banana, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a blender. Process until completely smooth.
03 - Pour blended batter into prepared baking dish. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
04 - While pancake base bakes, whisk together plain Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and well combined.
05 - Spread Greek yogurt frosting evenly over the cooled pancake base.
06 - Warm natural peanut butter in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds until pourable. Drizzle over the yogurt frosting layer.
07 - Top with sliced banana and sprinkle with chia seeds if desired. Serve immediately.

# Tips from the pros:

01 -
  • It feels like cake for breakfast but keeps you satisfied until lunch because of all that protein.
  • The whole thing comes together in 30 minutes, which means you can actually make it on a weekday without stress.
02 -
  • Don't skip the cooling step because the base will be too soft to frost—I learned this by making a mess, and now I'm telling you so you don't have to.
  • Warming the peanut butter is the difference between an elegant drizzle and a blob of butter sitting on top, so take the extra 15 seconds.
03 -
  • If your batter seems too thick, add a splash more milk, but do it slowly because it can get too thin faster than you'd expect.
  • The cinnamon does more work than you think—don't skip it because it's what makes this taste intentional and sophisticated instead of just like protein powder.
