- ½ scoop vanilla protein powder
- ½ tsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 egg
- a splash of vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the yogurt mixture evenly.
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the low-fat Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, cornstarch, cinnamon, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Prepare Ramekin: Lightly coat a ramekin with cooking spray to prevent sticking and pour the yogurt mixture into it, spreading evenly.
- Bake: Place the ramekin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until the baked yogurt sets with a custard-like consistency.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and top with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor before enjoying your baked yogurt dessert.
Notes
- You can substitute the vanilla protein powder with any unflavored or flavored protein powder of your choice.
- Use a nonstick cooking spray or butter to grease the ramekin to avoid sticking.
- For a sweeter version, consider adding a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the mixture before baking.
- This single-serving recipe can be doubled or tripled by adjusting baking time slightly based on ramekin size.
- Allow the baked yogurt to cool slightly before eating for better texture and flavor.
