Description

This High Protein Dutch Baby is a fluffy, oven-baked pancake that’s packed with protein, making it a nutritious and delicious breakfast option. Made with eggs, cottage cheese, protein powder, and fresh berries, it’s a perfect blend of creamy and fruity flavors, baked to a golden brown in a cast iron skillet.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon honey

For Cooking

  • 1 tablespoon ghee

Toppings

  • 3/4 cup fresh berries (not frozen)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the Dutch baby.
  2. Prepare the Batter: In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, cottage cheese, all purpose flour, protein powder, vanilla extract, salt, and honey. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
  3. Preheat the Skillet: Add the ghee to a cast iron skillet and place it in the oven to preheat for at least 15 minutes. This ensures the pan is hot enough to create the perfect rise.
  4. Add the Batter and Berries: Using an oven mitt, carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Pour in the blended batter and distribute the fresh berries evenly on top. The batter should sizzle upon contact.
  5. Bake: Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Bake until the Dutch baby is puffed up, golden brown around the edges, and no wet batter remains.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and slice to serve immediately for the best fluffy texture and fresh flavor.
  7. Tips and Substitutions: For variations and serving suggestions, refer to the notes below.

Notes

  • You can substitute all purpose flour with whole wheat or gluten-free flour if desired.
  • Use any protein powder flavor you prefer; vanilla pairs well with berries.
  • Ghee can be replaced with butter or a neutral oil if needed.
  • Fresh berries give the best texture and flavor; avoid using frozen berries as they may release excess moisture.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed immediately after baking to appreciate its fluffiness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently in the oven to retain texture.
