PROTEIN POWDER AS FLOUR SUBSTITUTE

alexandria412

wheat flour; you wanna stay away from whites (flour, rice, etc)

Reported for ricecism.

Made my day. Thank you.

I use it in baking all the time as well, but whey protein is made of whey (milk). Using milk instead of flour doesn't seem to make sense to me.

Perhaps rice protein can be used as flour?

I always do when baking.









Then again, I'm a rule-breaker.

And the recipes for all of these are???

That's a good point, I use gluten free vegan rice protein so it may react differently than whey.

I use vegan protein powder (brown rice/gemma pea) in recipes for pancakes and muffins! Plus if you use a flavored powder, there isn't a need for added sugars/sweeteners.

I've used it to substitute for cocoa powder, but flour has yeast that protein powder doesn't. I'm afraid if you sub it for flour you will end up with a very yucky mess.

I'm with her. I've switched it out for cocoa powder and even just added protein powder to different recipes, but never switched it out with flour.

not as a substitute, but you can bake with it.... go here:

I replace PART of the flour in my pancakes, pretzels etc with protein, no problems for most of it. Don't recall anything that "didn't work" but it's certainly not a measure for measure replacement... sub 1/2 cup in place of 1/2 cup for a recipe calling for 5 1/2 cups, you'll boost your protein and still mostly have the flour to do what it needs to in the recipe

@kiwiburger - Wait. Are you telling me you replaced flour with protein powder for those recipes? OR do they just include protein powder?

On another thread I spotted a recipe for protein pancakes, which was purely protein powder, vanilla extract, egg, milk and baking powder, I've played with the recipe and I make chocolate topped choc-orange protein cupcakes now, I had some for my lunch. They are firmer than standard sponge but still tasty.

I have used it in baking with excellent results. I made banana bran muffins and swapped out half of the flour for unflavered protein powder with no problems at all.

I don't think it would work so great in sauces or gravy type things. Probably be very lumpy.

this. i swap out half the flour in recipes and add flavored protein powder and things turn out just dandy

You can try this -- http://www.bobsredmill.com/low-carb-baking-mix.html?&cat=11. There is also a bread mix that has yeast so it will rise.

I use it when baking protein muffins. I also use ground up oats to make oat flour in addition to the protein powder. I posted the recipes a few threads.

I make protein pancakes constantly!

1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1 egg white
1/4-1/2cup of cottage cheese

Mix and make just like pancakes!

You can also try chickpea four as a substitute for white/wheat flour. More fiber and protein and gluten-free. Bob's Red Mill is the brand I usually buy.
