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.

Working on adapting a bran muffin muffin recipe to be protein packed enough to have for breakfast and tasty enough for DH to eat regularly. Will post the recipe if I can figure it out!

YUM!

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.

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 made these tonight and they were awesome, btw: http://www.proteinpow.com/2012/08/the-best-low-carb-protein-brownies-in.html#comment-form_4357375846693284624

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

Think of it as spreadable marshmallows.

In this case it is protein recipes that basically are 'fluffy'. OK...bad explanation.

Awesome forum! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks everyone!

Now, I just need to buy some protein and get started

Chocolate Protein Bread

Dry ingredients:
1 C oat flour (you can make oat flour by blending oat meal in coffee grinder or other similar blender)
1 or 2 scoops chocolate whey protein
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 C of Splenda or Stevia
4 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder

Wet ingredients:
1/2 C unsweetened almond milk
2 egg whites
1/2 C canned pure pumpkin

Mix together all wet and dry ingredients(make sure consistency is like a thick paste- add more wet or more dry ingredients if need be), pour mixture into sprayed bread loaf pan, Add 2 tablespoons semi sweet chocolate chips or carob chips if you want.
Bake at 375 for 20-25 mins (or until a fork/toothpick comes clean from the center)

You can use this recipe as a base, too. I've made a cherry almond version of this using applesauce instead of pumpkin, vanilla whey instead of chocolate, omitting the cocoa powder and adding almond extract and dried cherries. I've also made a strawberry banana bread using a mashed banana instead of pumpkin, vanilla whey and fresh cut up strawberries.

Strooong Bump!

I'll give a quick shout out to one of our fellow MFP'ers that has a site with some nice looking recipes (in fact I've just ordered some unflavoured whey to start making some of them!)

I am so boring because I don't really like milk or milk shakes so I just have 1 scoop of whey with water and frozen blueberries. I like it:)
Sometimes I add skim milk powder for extra protein. I used to add flax or chia but now I think there's really no need.

Carrot Cake Protein Muffins
Makes 20-24 muffins

200 calories, 21g carbohydrate (including 2g fibre, 9g sugar), 15g protein, 6g fat

Ingredients:

200g Porridge oats
150g Pea protein powder
100g Gram flour
100g Whey protein isolate (vanilla or unflavoured, although toffee would probably work too)
(If using unflavoured whey, you can add some vanilla/toffee flavouring powder or another 25g sugar if you like.)
100g Dark brown sugar
6 tsp Baking powder
1 tbsp Cinnamon (although I would possibly use more next time)
100g Raisins
50g Walnuts (broken or chopped into small bits)
250g Carrots (grated) – Although I think I’ll try more next time.
250g Fat-free fromage frais or Greek-style yoghurt
2 Large eggs
3 tbsp Olive oil
1 tbsp Vanilla extract
350-400ml Cold water
Oil spray

Instructions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 200C/180C fan/400F.
2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, gram flour, protein powders, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon.
3. Add carrots, raisins and walnuts and mix well.
4. In a separate container (I use a measuring jug), mix the fromage frais/yoghurt and eggs until well combined then add the olive oil, vanilla and 250ml of the water and mix again until smooth.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. If the mixture still looks dry, add more water until a fairly wet (but not runny) consistency is reached.
6. Spray two 12 hole non-stick muffin tins with oil spray (or brush with oil).
7. Using an ice cream scoop, split the mixture equally into 20-24 portions.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes or risen, golden brown and a skewer/knife inserted into a muffin comes out clean.

These freeze exceptionally well and can be reheated from frozen in the oven at 120C/100C fan/250F for around 20 minutes.
