    I have tried a couple baking recipes with protein with not much luck. They are all pretty nasty. Or you end up with a little bit of protein and a lot of carbs and fat. What I have had good luck with is adding protein powder to soups.

    Someone on here had a good recipe for protein cheesecake (I haven't tried to make it yet), but you can search the message boards for that.

    Protein Cake (Adapted from DieticianDeanna)

    Servings 8 (90kcal: 5c/10p/2f)
    8 Tbs. Coconut Flour
    1 tsp Baking Powder
    1/2 cup Greek Nonfat Plain Yogurt
    2 Large Eggs
    1/2 cup Unsweetened Cashew Milk In Grams
    1 Scoop Corfetti Cellucor Whey
    4 Servings of Liquid Egg Whites
    Stevia to taste

    Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes

    On an additional note, the quality of your protein powder will really determine the quality of your baked good. I can't really speak for other brands, but I've had the most success baking with Cellucor.

    Jif peanut powder and chocolate peanut powder can be added to recipes to increase protein without a ton of fat or sugar.

    http://www.builtlean.com/2013/01/23/protein-cheesecake-recipe/

    I used low fat cream cheese and Quest salted caramel protein powder and it was SO GOOD. Couldn't really taste the caramel but it was seriously the bomb. I'm making it again as soon as I have room in my fridge (might try the pumpkin version).

    It doesn't look as mushy as the picture though - it really had a normal cheesecake picture, but Quest is great for thickening things up.

    I have tried multiple protein pancake recipes that I have Google'd. And I usually through a little of my own curveball at it so there's always a little difference than what the recipe calls for. Also, I never use the protein powder that is called out, I use what I have on hand.
    I do believe that I shall be trying a few of the lovely young lady's recommendations that she has so kindly shared with us.
    I'll have to let y'all know how my versions turn out.

    Yeah, these recipes are pretty flexible. I found that to get a good result, you need to use a whey that bakes well, a secondary flour to help avoid that spongey protein powder texture, and lots of moisture to prevent dryness.

    So by moisture you mean like a little rum, amaretto or maybe Irish Cream Whiskey? ;-)

    Actually I am going to have to full around with a recipe for carrot cake muffins and red velvet muffins. If you already have an idea let me know.

    I will post what I find.

    To quote myself - I made the pumpkin version, and it probably needs at least 5 more minutes of cooking. Was still tasty though, but slightly undercooked (I haven't got sick yet though, lol!).


    I'd love to see recipes too but I just dislike recipes on video... takes too long.

    Made some protein pancakes this weekend, they came out heavy and thick but rather tasty. I will try to add more milk or maybe some water to make it thinner.
    1 cup heart healthy Bisquick mix (equals 3 serving)
    3 servings of EAS 100% Whey Protein Vanilla (87 grams).
    3 TBSP Whole Flax seed.
    1.25 cups skim milk
    1 Whole egg.
    2 egg whites.
