Ingredients

  • 40 g Buttermilk Protein Pancake Mix
  • 50 ml lite milk
  • 1/2 mini hot cross bun (broken into chunks)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (or to taste)
  • 15 g vanilla Greek yoghurt
  • 10 ml lite milk (for drizzle)
  • 10 g vanilla protein powder
  • 2 ml vanilla extract
  • pinch extra cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 165°C (330°F), or oven to 165°C (330°F) fan forced if using conventional oven.
Step 2: In an oven-safe or air fryer-safe dish, combine the pancake mix, cinnamon and 50ml milk. Mix until well combined into a thick batter.
Step 3: Break up the mini hot cross bun into bite-sized chunks and fold through the pancake batter.
Step 4: Place the dish in your air fryer or oven and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the batter is set and cooked through.
Step 5: While the pudding is cooking, make the vanilla drizzle by mixing together the yoghurt, 10ml milk, vanilla protein powder and vanilla extract until smooth. Transfer to a zip-lock bag.
Step 6: Once the pudding is cooked, remove from heat and place the remaining hot cross bun piece on top.
Step 7: Snip a corner off the zip-lock bag and drizzle the vanilla sauce over the warm pudding.
Step 8: Finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and enjoy while warm!

šŸ’” Tips

Pro tip: If you don't have mini hot cross buns, use 1/4 of a regular hot cross bun instead. You can also add a pinch of mixed spice for extra Easter flavour!
