    This has been adapted from and adapted from but the original source was a Fannie Farmer cookbook

    Banana Nut Muffins

    Preheat oven to 350

    1 cup flour (I am gluten free and usually use either brown rice, GF oat, of a combo of them)
    1 cup whey protein powder (I use George's Restore)
    1 tsp baking soda
    1 tsp salt
    2 eggs
    3 ripe bananas
    1 jar banana baby food
    1/2 cup walnut pieces

    Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl.

    In a larger bowl, beat eggs, and mix in bananas 1 at a time with electric mixer. Then add baby food and mix well.

    Mix in dry ingredients, a bit at a time, until blended well. Stir in walnut pieces.

    You can either pour it into an oiled loaf pan and bake for about 50 minutes, or put in an oiled muffin tin and bake for about 20 minutes. I use one of those cool silicone muffin tins, I spray it with Pam and the muffins just pop right out when they are done. I put it on a cookie sheet to keep it level when putting it into the oven, otherwise it's very bendy when being lifted.

    And I show each muffin as 127 Calories, 9g protein,5 grams fat, 13 grams carb.

    I made the protein bars mentioned above last night and they are pretty good. I followed the added directions from Bean and cooked them a little bit but I do like them a little softer. Unfortunately my kids weren't fans so now I have 16 more to eat myself!

    This recipe is probably better for bulking since it has a lot of peanut butter in it.

    3 C cooked sweet potato (I roast 3 large ones for 90 minutes, slip the skin off, and that is usually 3+ cups)
    3 C quick cooking oats
    1 C whey protein powder
    3/4 C peanut butter
    Water as needed

    Preheat oven to 350F

    Mash sweet potato with about 1/4 C water, then mix in other ingredients. The batter should be pourable but very thick, add more water if needed. I live at high altitude and use about 1/2 C water total. Press into 9 X 13 pan and bake for 45 minutes. Cut into 32 squares.

    These are very dense little bars that are portable and not crumbly. They need to be refrigerated or frozen, though. They will go bad quickly if left on the counter.

    I usually make a batch of muffins once a week for my husband and I. We each eat 2 per day to help hit our protein goals. I'm not a baker, so you may need to modify these recipes. Use foil muffin cups because these are all pretty sticky. The nutrition info is based on entering the items into MFP, so you may want to check them...it's been awhile since I've entered the info and I know I've updated some of the recipes.

    I've had so much fun since finding the above sight! I've had some epic fails in my baking attempts but more wins and I love doctoring them up, adding nuts or different dried fruits as well. My pre and post work out "meals" are always my homemade protein bars.

    Makes 6 large muffins or 12 small ones

    1tbsp Gluten-free baking powder

    2 scoops (approx 60g) Chocolate protein powder (I used My Protein Elle MP Max, but whatever works for you)
    1 WHOLE Egg
    4 tbsps Vegetable oil (I used EVOO because it tastes scrummy with chocolate)
    250ml Unsweetened Coconut milk (I've also used soya milk, hazelnut milk and almond milk and milk would definitely do)
    Oil spray or muffin cases
    Muffin tray with 6 large or 12 small sections

    Protein yogurt crepes!!

    These are AWESOME and you can make any combination of flavors that you like! Possibilities are endless :)

    I was inspired by two websites that I recommend:
    1) www.proteinpow.com - there are some pretty incredible protein baked goods on there
    2) http://www.tasty-health.se - another great one for good recipes - there are some more savory dishes on there than proteinpow. It's not in english, but google translator does a pretty good job.

    Anyhow here is the recipe!

    For the crepe:
    3 large egg whites (I used 9 tbsp liquid egg white - 138 g)
    20 g vanilla protein powder (This is about 2/3 of a scoop)
    1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    Splash of milk (I used 30 ml)

    Mix very well until you have a thin batter without clumps. Spray a pan and pour the mixture very thin until you can flip it without the batter running, flip and remove pretty quickly. My recipe made 3 crepes in a small frying pan. Place your crepes to the side.

    For the filling:
    Mix together 1/2 cup (114 g) plain greek yogurt (or flavored if you want)
    1/2 cup of any flavor of protein powder that you want (about 1.5 scoops) very well (I used 50 g of Dymatize cookies and cream this morning)

    Fill up your crepes, stick them in the microwave for a minute or so if you want a warm center and eat up!

    I'm still trying out different possibilities of flavors for the filling but also very good for the filling was using vanilla whey mixed with 2 tbsp of pb2 along with 2 tbsp of sugar free blueberry preserves! Try fruit, try chocolate, try savory crepes with eggs and ham if you want! Have fun :)

    Edit to include macros for my cookies and cream crepes:
    429 calories, 21 g of carbs (only becuase I used very carb-y protein powder), 74 g of protein (WOWWW!!), 3 g of fat. I got a HUGE full plate of crepes and they were awesome and filling - probably could even cut the recipe by a third really :)

    I didn't add splenda and I don't think it's necessary.
