Nutritious baked yogurt with Greek yogurt and protein powder, ideal for a quick, wholesome breakfast option.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dairy & Protein

01 - 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
02 - 1 large egg
03 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
04 - 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (whey-casein blend)

→ Optional Add-Ins

06 - 1/4 cup chopped berries (blueberries or strawberries)

02 - In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and egg until fully combined.
03 - Add protein powder and cornstarch to the yogurt mixture. Mix gently until smooth without over-mixing.
04 - If the mixture is too thick and not pourable, stir in almond milk until reaching a smooth, pourable consistency.
05 - Fold in chopped berries or chocolate chips if using.
06 - Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekin and smooth the top with a spatula.
07 - Bake for 30 minutes (or 20 minutes for small ramekins) until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly.
08 - Let cool for a few minutes before serving warm, or chill for a cold treat.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • High-protein content (36g) keeps you full for hours.
  • Easy to whip up with just 5 minutes of prep.
  • Gluten-free, low-fat, and easily adaptable for dairy-free diets.
  • Perfect texture that is somewhere between a souffle and a cheesecake.
02 -
  • Look for a 'jiggly' center when taking it out of the oven; it will continue to firm up as it cools.
  • Grease your ramekins well to ensure the yogurt doesn't stick to the sides.
  • If using small ramekins, start checking for doneness at the 20-minute mark to avoid drying it out.
