# How-To Steps:

01 - Set oven to 356°F and allow to fully preheat.
02 - Select a ramekin or oven-safe bowl with minimum 22 fluid ounce capacity.
03 - Add egg, yogurt, milk, flour, protein powder, sweetener, and baking powder directly to the bowl.
04 - Stir thoroughly until batter is smooth and well combined with no lumps.
05 - Gently fold in berries, chocolate chips, or other desired toppings that will bake in the mixture.
06 - Bake for 20 to 22 minutes until lightly golden and just set in the center.
07 - Remove from oven and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes; the center will firm up as it cools.
08 - Top with favorite garnishes and enjoy warm.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • One bowl does all the work, from mixing to baking to eating, so you save on dishes and time.
  • It packs serious protein without relying on bananas or complicated ingredient swaps.
  • You can prep a batch on Sunday and grab a ready-made breakfast all week long.
02 -
  • The center will look underdone when you first pull it out, but resist the urge to bake longer or you will end up with a dry, rubbery puck.
  • Use a bowl with enough headroom because the batter will puff up as the baking powder kicks in, and overflow is a sad, sticky mess.
03 -
  • Spray or butter your bowl lightly if you plan to flip it out for a prettier presentation, otherwise just eat it straight from the dish.
  • Mix your dry ingredients in a jar ahead of time so you only have to add wet ingredients and bake on busy mornings.
