  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 medium egg or flax egg for vegan

  3. In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, vanilla, and maple syrup.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until smooth.
  5. Fold in optional add-ins like berries, nuts, or chocolate chips.

  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the center is set and the top is golden.

Notes

 
Use whey protein for the fluffiest texture; plant protein creates a denser bowl.
Add 1–2 tbsp Greek yogurt to make it extra moist and cake-like.
For vegan version: use flax egg + plant-based protein + almond milk.
Make 2–3 bowls for meal prep; refrigerate for 3 days.
For richer flavor, add chocolate chips or cocoa powder.
To make it gluten-free: use certified gluten-free oats.
