Nutritious baked yogurt with protein powder, egg, and optional berries or chocolate chips.

# What You 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)

→ Dry Ingredients

05 - 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

→ Optional Add-Ins

06 - 1/4 cup chopped berries such as blueberries or strawberries
07 - 2 tablespoons chocolate chips

# How to Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a large ramekin or 2 small ramekins with nonstick cooking spray.
02 - In a large mixing 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 gradually until reaching a smooth, pourable consistency.
05 - Fold in chopped berries or chocolate chips if desired.
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 preparation.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent enough to feel like a treat, but the protein count rivals a full meal.
  • Once you mix it, the oven does the work while you shower or check your phone guilt-free.
  • The texture is somewhere between a cloud and a custard, and it never gets old.
02 -
  • Don't overbake it thinking a completely firm center is better—that jiggly middle is where the magic lives, and it sets completely as it cools.
  • If your protein powder is sweetened, skip any added sugar because this already has enough sweetness from the powder and any add-ins.
03 -
  • Make two at once if you have the oven space—one for today, one for tomorrow morning when you're running late.
  • If the top starts to brown too much but the center isn't set, tent it loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
