Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 12-ounce or 16-ounce oven-safe ramekin with cooking spray and place it on a baking sheet. Rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh sieve and drain well, then pat it very dry with a clean towel.
Place the dry quinoa in a blender. Pulse and grind for 1 minute until it is the consistency of a fine flour.
Add the whey protein, egg whites, mashed banana, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the blender. Blend on high for 1 minute until smooth. Let the batter rest in the blender for 10 minutes to hydrate the quinoa.
Stir the lemon juice and most of the blueberries into the batter by hand. Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekin and scatter the remaining blueberries on top. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, 160°F in the thickest part.
Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes to firm up before serving warm.
