Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt (225g)
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Almond Milk
- ¼ cup Vanilla Protein Powder, Whey-casein (22g)
- ½ teaspoon Cornstarch
Optional Add-ins
- ¼ cup Chopped Berries
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Ramekin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a large ramekin or two small ramekins with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Yogurt and Egg: In a large bowl, whisk together the nonfat plain Greek yogurt and the egg until fully combined, creating a smooth base.
- Add Protein Powder and Cornstarch: Stir in the vanilla protein powder and cornstarch gently until the mixture is smooth. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can affect texture.
- Adjust Consistency with Almond Milk: If the mixture is too thick and not pourable, add the unsweetened almond milk gradually until you reach a smoother, pourable consistency.
- Incorporate Optional Add-ins: Fold in chopped berries or chocolate chips if desired to add extra flavor and texture to your baked yogurt.
- Pour and Smooth: Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekin(s) and smooth the top with a spoon or spatula for even baking.
- Bake: Place ramekin(s) in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes if using one large ramekin, or 20 minutes for smaller ones. The top should be jiggly or soft to the touch when done.
Notes
- Use nonfat plain Greek yogurt for a healthier, protein-rich base.
- Do not overmix after adding the protein powder and cornstarch to avoid altering the texture.
- Adjust almond milk quantity based on the thickness of the batter.
- Optional berries provide natural sweetness and antioxidants, while chocolate chips satisfy a sweet tooth.
- Ramekin size affects baking time; larger ramekins require longer baking.
- Check doneness by gently touching the center—it should be soft but set.
- Serve warm or chilled, depending on preference.
