  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg until lightly beaten.

  3. Add the unflavored yogurt, milk, flour, vanilla protein powder, honey, and baking powder; whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The batter is smooth and free of lumps. Whisk the dry ingredients through the wet mixture evenly.

  4. Lightly grease a baking dish or individual ramekins with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil.

  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared dish or ramekins.

  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pancake surface is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The surface is golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Check the center with a toothpick before removing it from the oven.

  7. Remove from the oven and let the pancake rest for 2 minutes.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The pancake has rested briefly after baking. Let it settle before adding the toppings.

  8. Serve warm, topping each portion with fresh fruit to taste and, if desired, a drizzle of calorie‑free syrup.
