# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 356°F and select a ramekin or oven-safe bowl with minimum 22 oz capacity.
02 - Add egg, yogurt, milk, flour, protein powder, sweetener, and baking powder directly to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until batter achieves smooth consistency with no lumps.
03 - Gently fold in pre-bake toppings such as berries, chocolate chips, or nuts, preserving an even distribution throughout the batter.
04 - Bake for 20 to 22 minutes until surface turns lightly golden and center appears just set.
05 - Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes, during which the center will firm up and achieve optimal texture.
06 - Top with preferred post-bake toppings and serve warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything mixes and bakes in the same bowl, so cleanup takes about ten seconds.
  • You get 31 grams of protein without any chalky aftertaste or weird banana texture.
  • It's endlessly customizable: toss in berries, chocolate chips, or whatever's hiding in your pantry.
  • Perfect for meal prep since you can bake a few at once and reheat them all week.
02 -
  • The center will look slightly soft when you pull it out, but it firms up as it cools; don't overbake or it'll dry out.
  • If you're using frozen berries, toss them in straight from the freezer; they'll release just enough juice to keep things moist.
  • A bowl that's too small will overflow, so go bigger than you think you need.
03 -
  • Weigh your protein powder instead of scooping it; brands vary wildly in density, and too much will make it dry.
  • Let the bowl cool on a wire rack so the bottom doesn't get soggy from trapped steam.
  • If you're meal prepping, label each container with the toppings you used so you remember which is which.
