Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • ¼ cup oats (20g)
  • ¼ cup almond flour (28g)
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed (7g)
  • 1 tbsp ground chia seeds (12g)
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 egg (50g)
  • ⅓ cup egg whites (80g)
  • ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese (2%) (113g)
  • ½ scoop vanilla whey isolate protein powder (15g)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Toppings

  • ½ cup raspberries (61g) (or any berries)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 400°F (204°C). Lightly grease an oven-safe glass dish, ideally about 6.5×6.5 inches but a 7×7 or 8×8 inch dish will also work, and set it aside.
  2. Blend the batter: In a blender, combine all the ingredients except the raspberries—oats, almond flour, ground flaxseed, ground chia seeds, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, egg, egg whites, cottage cheese, vanilla whey protein powder, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes, ensuring a consistent batter texture.
  3. Pour and top: Pour the blended batter evenly into the greased baking dish. Gently scatter the raspberries on top of the batter to add freshness and a burst of flavor.
  4. Bake until set: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The pancake bowl is done when the center is set and no longer jiggles when you gently shake the dish. Alternatively, you can microwave the batter on medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes, checking for doneness.
  5. Serve and store: Serve the power pancake bowl warm for a comforting meal or enjoy it cold as a quick snack. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 to 5 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • You can substitute raspberries with any fresh or frozen berries of your choice.
  • If you prefer a fluffier texture, ensure the baking powder is fresh and the eggs are at room temperature.
  • Microwaving time may vary based on your appliance’s wattage.
  • This recipe can be doubled using a larger baking dish, adjusting baking time accordingly.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
