Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup oat flour Or blended rolled oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder About 30 grams
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder For maximum lift
  • ½ cup almond milk Unsweetened
  • 1 large egg Room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract For bakery aroma
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries and cranberries Divided for batter and garnish
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar For dusting
  • 2 tablespoon berry syrup For drizzling

Equipment

  • 1 Oven-safe ramekin or bowl Approx 10-12 oz size for baking
  • 2 Mixing bowls For separating wet and dry ingredients
  • 1 Whisk For smoothing the batter
  • 1 Silicone spatula For folding gently

Method
 

  1. Whisk the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, and baking powder in a small bowl to combine the dry base so it rises evenly.
  2. Blend the almond milk, egg, and vanilla extract in a separate dish to prepare the wet ingredients so they are perfectly smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula to create a thick batter so it stays airy.
  4. Let the batter rest for five minutes to allow the oats to hydrate so the pancake bowl becomes incredibly fluffy.
  5. Fold half of the fresh berries into the rested batter to distribute the fruit so every bite bursts with flavor.
  6. Pour the batter into a greased oven-safe bowl and bake at 350 degrees for twenty-five minutes to puff the center so it turns golden.
  7. Top the hot baked pancake with the remaining fresh berries and drizzle with warm syrup to sweeten the dish so it is perfectly moist.
  8. Dust the entire bowl heavily with powdered sugar to garnish the plate so it looks like a beautiful bakery treat.

Notes

Allow the mixed batter to rest for exactly five minutes before baking; this lets the oat flour absorb the liquid, ensuring a towering, fluffy texture instead of a dense puck.
