Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tsp maple syrup, honey, or sweetener (optional)
  • Butter or cooking spray, for greasing the bowl

Method
 

  1. In a microwave‑safe bowl, whisk together the protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt until no lumps remain.
  2. Add the egg, milk, vanilla, and sweetener if using. Stir vigorously until smooth and glossy.
  3. Grease the bowl, then microwave on high for 1½ minutes. Check the center and cook in 15‑second bursts until puffed and set, up to 2 minutes total. Top as you like and serve immediately.

Notes

Cooking time varies by microwave wattage; start checking at 1 minute 30 seconds. For a baked version, pour the batter into a greased oven‑safe ramekin and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 12–15 minutes. The bowl will be very hot, so handle it with a towel.
