Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an oven-safe baking dish or bowl around six to eight inches in diameter. This ensures your breakfast bowl will bake evenly and release easily after baking.

Mix Dry Ingredients:

In a mixing bowl, whisk together oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisking thoroughly aerates the mixture and evenly distributes all the ingredients for consistent texture and flavor.

Incorporate Wet Ingredients:

Add two large eggs, half a cup of unsweetened almond milk, one tablespoon of maple syrup, and half a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until a smooth batter forms with no lumps. Be careful not to overmix to keep the airy texture.

Bake the Base:

Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly to cover the bottom. Place it in the oven and bake for eighteen to twenty minutes. The base should be set and lightly golden brown on top when ready. Remove from oven and let it cool for five minutes.

Add the Toppings:

Evenly spread three-quarters of a cup of Greek yogurt over the cooled base, creating a creamy layer. Warm one tablespoon of peanut butter for about ten to fifteen seconds if needed to loosen it and drizzle it over the yogurt. Arrange the sliced medium banana neatly on top. Finish with a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness if you like.

Serve:

Cut the breakfast pizza bowl into portions and enjoy immediately while fresh and flavorful.

Save

I love the way the peanut butter melts slightly into the creamy Greek yogurt, creating a dreamy richness that pairs perfectly with the mellow banana slices. One morning, my kids were so excited about this breakfast, they asked me to make it every weekend.

Storage Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Warm gently before enjoying to refresh the peanut butter drizzle and soften the banana slices. This dish does not hold up well for extended freezing because the yogurt topping can change texture.

Ingredient Substitutions

Feel free to swap peanut butter with almond butter for a different nutty flavor. You can use cow's milk or oat milk instead of almond milk depending on preference. If oat flour is unavailable, finely ground rolled oats work in a pinch but may affect the texture slightly.

Serving Suggestions

Top with fresh berries or chopped nuts for extra freshness and crunch. Serve alongside a hot cup of coffee or tea to balance the sweetness. For an added boost, sprinkle chia seeds or flaxseed on top after baking.

Pro Tips

• Toasting the oat flour lightly before mixing adds a nutty depth that elevates the flavor
• Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a smooth and even batter
• Use a silicone spatula to spread the yogurt layer evenly without disturbing the baked base
