Baked Greek Yogurt Protein Breakfast (Print Version)

Simple nutritious baked yogurt with Greek yogurt, egg, and protein powder. Perfect high-protein breakfast or post-workout snack customizable with berries or chocolate.

# 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)

→ Dry Ingredients

05 - 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

→ Optional Add-Ins

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

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a large ramekin or 2 small ramekins with nonstick cooking spray.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and egg until fully incorporated.
03 - Add protein powder and cornstarch to the yogurt mixture. Mix gently until smooth, avoiding 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 - Allow to cool for several minutes before serving warm, or refrigerate for a chilled preparation.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It delivers a jaw-dropping 36 grams of protein without tasting like punishment, which means you'll actually look forward to breakfast.
  • The entire thing takes less time than your morning shower, yet feels like you made something special.
  • It's endlessly customizable, so bored taste buds are never an excuse again.
02 -
  • That jiggle in the center is your target—overbaking turns this from cloud-like to dense and rubbery, a mistake I made twice before learning patience.
  • The mixture will seem thin going into the oven, but it firms up beautifully as it bakes due to the egg and protein powder setting.
03 -
  • Room-temperature ingredients mix more smoothly and create a more even texture, so pull your yogurt and egg out of the fridge five minutes before starting.
  • The cornstarch is non-negotiable if you want that specific fluffy texture, but you can substitute it with tapioca starch if you're out.
