Method

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a small oven-safe bowl or ramekin with cooking spray or butter.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg, Greek yogurt, protein powder, oat flour, baking powder, 1 tablespoon peanut butter, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth with no lumps.
Gently fold 1 to 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips into the batter using a spatula.
Pour the prepared batter into the greased bowl or ramekin and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the center is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with few crumbs.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2 to 3 minutes before plating.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of melted peanut butter over the top and sprinkle with additional chocolate chips. Add sliced banana or chopped peanuts if desired.
Enjoy immediately while warm with a spoon, breaking through the baked pancake to capture all the melted chocolate and peanut butter.

Notes

This pancake bowl is incredibly versatile! Feel free to experiment with different protein powder flavors or add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter for extra warmth. It's a perfect quick breakfast or a satisfying dessert.
