# What You Need:

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

# How-To Steps:

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 well combined with no lumps.
03 - Pour pancake batter evenly into the prepared bowls, dividing equally between the two vessels.
04 - Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips over the batter in each bowl.
05 - Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pancake is puffed and set in the center. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
06 - While baking, combine peanut butter with 1-2 teaspoons of milk to create a pourable consistency for drizzling.
07 - Remove bowls from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Drizzle peanut butter mixture over each bowl and add optional toppings of sliced banana or chopped peanuts as desired. Serve warm.
