Ingredients

• 1 cup (225 g) nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
• 1/4 cup (22 g) vanilla protein powder (whey-casein blend)
• 1/2 tsp cornstarch
• 1/4 cup chopped berries (blueberries or strawberries) or 2 tbsp chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a large ramekin or two small ramekins with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2: Whisk

In a large bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt and egg together until the mixture is fully combined.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

Add the protein powder and cornstarch to the bowl. Mix gently until the batter is smooth, being careful not to over-mix.

Step 4: Adjust Consistency

If the batter appears too thick to pour, stir in the almond milk until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency.

Step 5: Add Flavor

Gently fold in your choice of chopped berries or chocolate chips if you are using them.

Step 6: Transfer

Pour the yogurt mixture into the prepared ramekin(s) and smooth the top using a spatula.

Step 7: Bake

Bake for 30 minutes (or 20 minutes if using small ramekins). Remove when the center is just set but still retains a slight jiggle.

Step 8: Finish

Let the dish cool for a few minutes. Serve it warm, or place it in the refrigerator to enjoy as a cold treat later.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To achieve the best texture, use a whey-casein protein blend, which helps create a more stable, cake-like consistency. Be sure to use nonstick cooking spray on your ramekins to ensure the yogurt doesn't stick to the sides while baking.

Varianten und Anpassungen

You can easily make this recipe dairy-free by using a plant-based Greek-style yogurt and a vegan protein powder. If you only have plain protein powder on hand, simply add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter for extra flavor.

Serviervorschläge

Enhance your breakfast by adding a variety of toppings. Top your baked yogurt with extra fresh berries, a handful of crunchy nuts, or a light drizzle of honey or maple syrup for a touch of natural sweetness.
