Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup oat flour or all-purpose flour swap oat flour with almond flour for a nuttier bite.
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder use chocolate for a dessert vibe.
  • 1 tablespoon sugar, honey, or maple syrup choose maple syrup for a richer, more rustic flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch salt
  • 1 large egg, room temperature replace with 3 tablespoons aquafaba for an egg-free version.
  • 1/3 cup milk of choice dairy or oat milk both work well.
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil browned butter adds a toasty aroma.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Mix-Ins
  • 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon chopped nuts

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a small ramekin or muffin tin well with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly, then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined. Fold in any mix-ins like berries or chocolate chips.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared ramekin, filling it about three quarters of the way. Smooth the top gently with the back of a spoon.
Baking
  1. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  2. Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Run a knife around the edge and invert onto a plate or leave as an edible bowl.

Notes

If omitting sugar, add a ripe mashed banana for natural sweetness. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to improve texture. Serve warm topped with berries and maple syrup.
