# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a small ovenproof dish or 2 individual ramekins.

03 - Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until center is set and top is lightly golden. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
04 - Whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until smooth.
05 - Spread Greek yogurt frosting evenly over the cooled pancake base.
06 - Warm peanut butter in microwave for 10 to 15 seconds until slightly liquid. Drizzle over yogurt layer.
07 - Top with sliced banana and sprinkle with chia seeds. Serve immediately.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It keeps you full for hours without that mid-morning crash because the protein actually sticks around.
  • You get to eat pizza for breakfast and nobody judges you for it.
  • Everything bakes in one dish so cleanup is faster than making regular pancakes.
  • The toppings are endlessly customizable depending on what you forgot to buy at the store.
02 -
  • Do not skip the cooling step before adding the yogurt frosting or it will turn into warm soup and slide right off.
  • If your batter looks too thick, add a splash more almond milk because different protein powders absorb liquid differently.
  • Warming the peanut butter is non-negotiable if you want that drizzle effect instead of clumpy globs.
03 -
  • Use a silicone spatula to spread the yogurt frosting evenly because metal spoons tend to tear the pancake base if it is still warm.
  • If you do not have a blender, you can use a food processor or even mash everything by hand, but the texture will be a little less smooth.
  • Grease your baking dish with coconut oil instead of cooking spray for a subtle flavor boost that works beautifully with the cinnamon.
