Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. I often prep the dry ingredients in a jar the night before. Combine with wet ingredients and bake in the morning. The finished bowls also store well in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Can I use a different size bowl or pan?

You can. The recipe is written for a 650ml ramekin. If you use a muffin tin or a larger dish, watch the bake time. Smaller portions will bake faster; larger ones may need a few extra minutes.

What if I do not have protein powder?

The recipe still works without protein powder. You can replace it with an equal weight of flour, or for extra protein, add a spoon of nut butter and a little more yogurt.

Is this recipe kid-friendly?

Very much so. We make it often with chocolate chips, berries, or both. The portion control of a single bowl helps kids feel in charge of their toppings.

How can I make it dairy-free?

Use almond or soy milk and choose a dairy-free yogurt. Many protein powders are plant-based; pick one labeled dairy-free and your bowl will be dairy-free too.

Add all ingredients to the bowl: egg, yogurt, milk, flour, protein powder, sweetener, and baking powder.
