Bump

No texture is added from the sfff pudding mix...it basically acts like a binder for the ingredients. Also I find any recepie I make I can add more protein ...or for muffins I always sub at least half the flour for protein powder...

Hmmmm.... I wonder if that "formula" will work for making protein pancakes by substituiting some of the flour for protein.

Yes should work fine!!!! And I totally have protein pancake recepies...as well as protein muffins and bread...on the treadmill now will post when I get to my desk.

Jamie Eason has some good stuff...her carbs are a bit high so like I said I just sub protein powder for at least half her reccomendations for flour.

thanks for all the great recipes folks!!

Zuchinni Protein muffins! THESE ARE MY FAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is all I got folks...and like I mentioned I use the jamie eason pumpkin bars (and cinnimon swirl bread) I just subsitute half the flour for protein...when baking with extra protein you have to keep an eye on the oven, becuse it seems to burn/bake fatser.


I omitted the carrots...and only used a 1/4 cup flour and substituted the other 1/2 cup with PROTEIN...no nuts...and They came to 100 cals a pop! Oh and I did add the cocoa powder!! Soooo good

zucchini carrot muffins: (around 115 calories a muffin with 1 scoop of optiumum nutrition whey protein powder)
makes 9 muffins 13c/10p/2f

3/4 cup oat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
a pinch of salt
1tsp. of vanilla extract
1 tablespoon or more of cinnamon
1 pinch of nutmeg
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1/2 cup of no sugar added applesauce
1 egg
1/4 cup truvia or stevia (i use truvia) for a less sweeter muffin or 1/2 cup if you like them sweeter
1/2 cup grated zucchini
1/4 cup grated carrot
1/4 cup of oat bran
1/4 cup of chopped walnuts
1/4 to 1/2 cup of water (add a little at 1st until the consistancy is okay)

*top with a sprinkle of oats and cinnamon

**optional: add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1 or 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, all natural dark chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds** these all will change the calorie count of course

the chocolate zucchini muffins are pretty much the same. i just got rid of the carrot and grated 1 med. zucchini. added 1 or 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder(which i think i might leave out next time unless i add dark chocolate chips) and i added 1 tablespoon of chia seeds. and didnt add the protein powder to these. the calorie count on these were about the same, maybe a few calories less.

preheat oven to 350 degress

sift oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg(sift a few times)

in another bowl whisk the egg, truvia, oil, applesauce, zucchini & carrot. mix in the flour mixture then add the oat bran & walnuts.
spray pay with non stick spray or use muffin liners(i did this) and fill them all about the same. 3/4 way full. then bake 12-18minutes(mine varied both times) just keep an eye on them and a toothpick handy

These look good. Bump for later
