    Protein cake/muffin/brownie

    WOWZA

    I am going to try this



    Makes 1 @ 90 calories, 18 grams of protein, and 2 net carbs

    Ingredients:

    * 15 grams of protein powder (half a scoop) (whey works best, but I use unflavored soy many times to save money-I buy it in bulk!)
    * 1 tbsp 100% cocoa powder
    * 1/4 tsp baking powder
    * 2 packets stevia (or whatever sweetneer you prefer)
    * 1 tbsp pumpkin or applesauce (your choice!)
    * 3 tbsp liquid egg whites (or 1 egg white)

    Directions:

    1. In a microwavable cup, place the protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and stevia. Mix well.

    2. Stir in the egg whites and pumpkin so that you end up with a thick batter.

    3. Microwave for 1 minute. The result will look something like this:

    4. Use a knife to gently loosen it from the mug. Place the mug upside down on a plate and let the cake come out.

    5. Cut in half and fill with desired toppings- peanut butter, yogurt, cream cheese, laughing cow, etc!

    6. Once they are cool, you can wrap them in saran wrap and take them on the go!

    Wow April! I JUST checked out your site and it is amazing!!!! It makes me feel so at home to know that there are people out there that eat like me! usually everyone just stares at my tuperwares and wonders what i'm all about haha and after I explain what my slush or muffing or pancake "thing" is made of people usually narrow their eyes and warily nod while keeping a "huuuuh" expression. So yay! this is wonderful and so many recipe ideas!! thank you so much for sharing, cant wait to try 'em all!!!! :-)

    Question: I noticed you use a lot of cream or tartar, could you tell me how come? doesn't that add a salty taste if you're making somethin sweet? how do you add it to the whites, do you whisk it all together and cook?

    Also, i was wondering how come you like to use agave? i was under the impression that news studies suggest its basically the same as sugar???

    Thank you! The cream of tartar gives the egg whites a ton of volume and makes pancakes fluffy! No, you don't taste the saltiness. And I use my stick blender to blend it in the whites!

    And I typically don't use agave but the company sent me some bottles to review so I used 1/4 tsp PWO..hardly enough to do any damage! LOL Feel free to email me if you have any more questions!

    Thanks!! how great, you know I bought some cream of tartar to try it and will defo throw them in with egg whites. Oh how exciting I love the creativity! I've never microwaved whey before, does one type of whey (isolate/concentrate/blend) work better than others??

    Ingredients:

    * 15 grams of protein powder (half a scoop) (whey works best, but I use unflavored soy many times to save money-I buy it in bulk!)
    * 1 tbsp 100% cocoa powder
    * 1/4 tsp baking powder
    * 2 packets stevia (or whatever sweetneer you prefer)
    * 1 tbsp pumpkin or applesauce (your choice!)
    * 3 tbsp liquid egg whites (or 1 egg white)

    Directions:

    1. In a microwavable cup, place the protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and stevia. Mix well.

    2. Stir in the egg whites and pumpkin so that you end up with a thick batter.

    3. Microwave for 1 minute. The result will look something like this:

    4. Use a knife to gently loosen it from the mug. Place the mug upside down on a plate and let the cake come out.

    5. Cut in half and fill with desired toppings- peanut butter, yogurt, cream cheese, laughing cow, etc!

    6. Once they are cool, you can wrap them in saran wrap and take them on the go!



    Awesome, i tried these, and they are damn good fair play! only question i have is, how does it add up to 18g protein? Im using my Body Fortress Whey, and half a scoop is just under 10g protein. With the egg white, thats only 12/13g protein? Am i missing something?

    It depends on the brand of protein you use- you'll have to adjust it

    OMG! Just tried this - my first successful attempt at something chocolatey AND good! Mine came out kind of like a chocolate sponge cake. I used mashed banana in place of applesauce or pumpkin (out of convenience). YUM!

    I realized I needed to toss in a few more grams of protein for the day, and was slightly bored with the idea of greek yogurt. I used it as an excuse to make this up as a protein dessert, and yum it was good! Thanks for the recipe, I also bookmarked the site with the rest of the recipes.

    I changed the recipe a little. Instead of the applesauce and pumpkin (tried both) and used 1T. of plain low fat yogurt..replaced the baking powder with 1 glucomannan (for fiber and thickness)..and nuke for 49 seconds and let it sit..then put a teaspoon of p.b. I think the yogurt tends to make it a little more moist. If I drink a glass of water with it I stay full. I also add a pack of Truvia. The basic recipe is still good..thanks for posting it.
