    Turn it into Protein Muffins or Protein Pancakes.... this might sound gross, but it's really good once you cook it:

    2 cup bisquick
    1 cup low fat cottage cheese
    1 scoop AnyWhey (branded) protein powder (can be gotten from amazon or local health food store)
    1/2 c applesauce
    1/4 - 1/2 c skim milk (I can't remember which exactly i use, start with 1/4, add more if too thick)
    Cinnamon to taste (i use 1 tblsp because i like the cinnamon taste)
    2 tsp baking soda
    1 tsp sugar

    Pour into muffin pans and bake or make as pancakes... now you've turned up the protein content and made yummy treats. I like to make these into muffins on a Sunday and grab one daily for a snack.

    I will say it looks pretty gross when you mix it, but I think it tastes great! My kids and my husband even eat them. :)

    Good idea! I have put protein powder in my pancake mix before and couldn't tell the difference in taste. I did get fuller on less though.

    Ok, so I looked up Bisquick on Wikipedia - it has flour, shortening, salt, and baking soda. So the only downside of using it would be the shortning I guess. But I would every now and then would be ok.

    I use Bisquick mostly to make my Oven Baked Chicken. It's a recipe that was always on the box or on their website. It comes out tasting just like fried chicken w/o the ton of grease from frying it.

    I made these this weekend! They were okay plain, but amazing with peanut butter on them :smile: I sprinkled a little cinnamon on top too. I think next time, I'd add another tsp of sugar to make them a little sweeter. I blogged about them too! http://casey-thelazychef.blogspot.com

    Me too! I also will cut up pork or chicken breast & coat it, fry in a little olive oil for my stir-fry. I prefer a little bit of coating on my meat for stir-fry. In moderation it's all good. :happy:
