Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease 4 oven-safe ramekins or small bowls to prevent sticking.

- Pour Batter: Evenly pour the blended batter into the prepared ramekins. Gently add any optional mix-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts either on top or swirl them lightly into the batter.
- Bake: Place the ramekins in the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes. The pancake bowls are done when the tops are set and have turned lightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked protein pancake bowls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm, optionally topped with a drizzle of nut butter, extra yogurt, or fresh fruit for added taste and nutrition.
