Posted this in the main forums a while back, but they turned out pretty good. Making another batch this weekend:
1 cup whole milk
1 cup peanut butter
2 cups oats (not instant)
225g protein powder (I used Dymatize Gourmet Vanilla ISO 100 whey - 8 scoops NOT PACKED)
1 tbsp honey
1/2 cup cold water
In small sauce pan, heat milk, peanut butter, and honey over medium-low heat and whisk until creamed.
Set aside and let cool for 2-3 mins.
In large mixing bowl, combine oats and protein powder until well mixed. Slowly stir in PB mixture until a thick paste forms adding water as needed (add water 1 tbsp at a time so the paste doesn't get too mushy) so the paste isn't so thick that you can't spread it in the pan. Line glass baking dish with parchment paper, and pour paste into dish spreading evenly. Let cool until paste is firm.
Cut into 16 individual-sized bars. Refrigerate for storage.
Each bar is 185 calories with 9g carbs, 18g protein, and 8g fat as made. If you use another protein powder, adjust accordingly.
Link the thread. MoreBean also added some good modifications to this recipes to help firm up the bars a bit.

French toast. Eggs, protein powder, cinnamon, milk and vanilla, mix well. Dip whole wheat toast in and fry. Yummy!
I also used to make pancakes with this batter: 1/2 cup egg whites, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup of oatmeal, and one scoop of vanilla protein powder. Blend in blender and fry in olive oil. Low fat, high protein snack:)0 -

For cheesecakes, I have it on very high authority that this is the best thread for protein cheesecakes

This site has many, many shake recipes that are pretty scrumptious.
http://dashingdish.com/recipe/dashing-dish-official-protein-shake/
I've tried almost all of them and I have yet to find one I'm not fond of. Although they taste great without it, use the xanthan gum. It really does make it just like an ice cream shake consistency.0 -

My adapted version:
1 cup natural peanut butter
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup water
1 large egg
1 tablespoon honey
2 cups oats
8 scoops (375g) Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% whey protein powder (chocolate)
4 tablespoons Flax Usa - Organic Golden Flax Seed Cold Milled
Followed instructions above, except I added Bean's suggestion of baking and put the pan in for 20 minutes at 300 degrees.
16 servings. Each serving is: 193 calories, 18 grams protein, 10 grams fat, 10 grams carbs
I wanted to add natural applesauce to moisten the mixture, but didn't have any. Like Bean's experiment, mine are a little dry and I think the applesauce would definitely do the trick. There is a pic in my profile of the finished bars.0 -
bump. yum. really need to get into the kitchen and make more of these rather than buying. so bloody expensive! thanks everyone.0

So I'm thinking I need to buy some protein powder, but have no idea what/where to get it. Any recommendations?0

Thanks!
I just made these two nights ago with the following substitutions:
I used half mochaccino (sp) and half PB cup flavored whey.
I used quick oats instead of regular. It worked fine but I should have soaked the oats first.
Turned out great.0 -

I like Trutein for chocolate and Optimum Nutrition for Vanilla. You can usually get good deals if you search online.0 -

oatmeal banana breakfast muffins
Did this recipe this morning:
http://chaseandem.blogspot.ca/2012/09/oatmeal-banana-breakfast-muffins.html
...but added 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder (which thickened it quite a bit) and a couple of tablespoons of water to keep it batter consistency.
Friggin' delicious.
Roughly 120 cals and 7 grams of protein (depending of course on your PP choice)
edit - Forgot to mention I used pourable splenda instead of sugar.0 -

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.0 -
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!0

Oh wow I didn't know that all sorts of wonderful things are possible with protein powder! I feel like I've been living under a rock..0

Ran across this...as SideSteel could not remember it I thought I would post it!

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.0 -
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.
