A decadent baked pancake bowl featuring rich chocolate chips and luscious peanut butter drizzle—perfect for a dessert-inspired breakfast.

# Components:

→ Pancake Base

01 - 1 large egg
02 - 1/3 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)
03 - 1/2 cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder
04 - 1/3 cup oat flour
05 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
06 - 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
07 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
08 - Pinch of salt

→ Toppings

09 - 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
10 - 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
11 - 1-2 teaspoons milk for thinning peanut butter
12 - Optional: sliced banana and chopped roasted peanuts

# Method:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease two small oven-safe bowls or ramekins with cooking spray or butter.
02 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg, milk, protein powder, oat flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and salt until smooth and fully combined with no lumps.
03 - Divide pancake batter evenly between the two prepared bowls, filling each approximately three-quarters full.
04 - Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips over the batter in each bowl, gently pressing them slightly into the surface.
05 - Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the pancake is puffed and the center is set when lightly touched. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean.
06 - While pancakes bake, combine peanut butter with 1-2 teaspoons of milk in a small bowl, stirring until you achieve a pourable consistency.
07 - Remove bowls from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Drizzle with peanut butter mixture and add optional toppings of sliced banana and chopped roasted peanuts as desired. Serve warm.
