Description
Some mornings call for fuel that’s fast, cozy, and packed with protein. Enter this microwave pancake bowl: warm, fluffy, maple-kissed, and ready in under 5 minutes. Think of it as all the joy of pancakes—without the flipping, waiting, or stack of dirty pans.
Ingredients
-
½ banana, mashed (ripe for sweetness)
-
2 scoops vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
-
2 egg whites (or 1 whole egg for a denser texture)
-
1–2 tsp sugar-free maple syrup (or regular maple syrup)
-
Dash ground cinnamon
-
Optional: ¼ tsp baking powder for extra fluff
Toppings
-
2 tbsp prepared PB Fit (or any nut/seed butter)
-
½ banana, sliced
-
Drizzle sugar-free maple syrup
-
Sprinkle ground cinnamon
Instructions
-
Mash the banana in a microwave-safe bowl or mug until mostly smooth.
-
Add protein powder, egg whites, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Stir well until thick and smooth. If the batter is too dense, add a splash of water or milk.
-
Microwave on high for 2 minutes. The pancake bowl should rise and look set on top. (Adjust time slightly if your microwave runs hot or low-powered.)
-
Let it rest for 1 minute. Then top with PB Fit, banana slices, syrup, and cinnamon.
Dig in straight from the bowl for ultimate cozy vibes—or flip it onto a plate for a personal mini cake.
Notes
-
No microwave? Bake at 350°F (175°C) in a ramekin for 15–20 minutes.
-
Rubbery texture? Try reducing microwave time by 15–30 seconds.
-
Too thick batter? Stir in extra water or milk, 1 tsp at a time, until it’s like cake batter.
