This turned out well.

30g whey powder (I used vanilla)
1 large egg
1/4 cup water
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp baking powder.

Separate the egg, whip the white till stiff and fluffy.

Mix the whey, baking powder, egg yolk and water, then fold in the egg white.

Pour into six muffin moulds, either silicon or well greased.

Bake in a hot oven for 10-12 minutes. Don't overcook.

They double in size and come out really light and fluffy. They probably don't keep long, but my kids tore through them like locusts.

Hooray! I am going to try this tonight with the lemon whey I just got and a smidge of poppy seeds. Been craving a poppy seed muffin.

Just go easy on the water. Start with less and add just as much as you need to make a smooth paste.

I_Shaw_I · 08-21-2007, 04:59 PM

thanks for the recipe. i tried making them today (my baking skills suck) and they turned out pretty bad. they had a soft spongy instead and a crusty outside. i think too much water plus beating the eggs might have been the problem???

It occurs to me that Irish eggs seem to be bigger than American eggs. That might make a difference. When I use a medium egg, you might been to use a large or extra large one.

Also, it might be your oven gets a lot hotter than mine. Mine goes gas 6-7 tops. If yours goes a lot higher, that might be the problem.

I have tried these before and they come out really light and fluffy. Quite nice to have with a cup of coffee. I'll try the next batch with coconut oil, it will add that nice smell.

tweety09 · 09-08-2007, 09:35 AM

just tried them out..

)
i don`t know if this is the way it should look .. but anyway..

) i would have preferred a harder inside.. to fluffy..

mine were smaller because i ate most of the batter but looked the same/similar

sklub · 10-14-2007, 09:47 AM

What a great idea!

GHSW27 · 12-18-2007, 08:05 AM

when ever i make these the puff up while there cooking and when there done they like deflate. I use muscle milk instead of whey and i cook at 350f. how can i fix this and make them stay light and fluffy?

they still taste really good

Eileen · 12-18-2007, 02:54 PM

I've never used Muscle Milk, so I don't know. They always puff up in the oven, and deflate a bit when you take them out, but they should still be pretty light. I just eat them quickly and don't leave them hanging around.

deadfingers · 12-18-2007, 05:36 PM

Hmm I have all the ingredients for this, might try it this weekend.

Eileen · 12-19-2007, 05:12 PM

I'd just suggest you add half the water, and then add more if you need to so you have a smooth paste rather than a runny liquid. Some wheys seems to hold more water than others.

stk13 · 12-21-2007, 08:41 PM

Forgot the olive oil lol. In the oven we'll see.

stk13 · 12-21-2007, 09:00 PM

Well they were amazing. Even without oil came out great, i made a little peanut butter sauce to put on them. All six muffins without pb, macros:
Calories 140
Fat 6.5 grams
Protein 19.5 grams
carbs 1.5 grams.
And yes, i ate all six lol.

Da_MiLkY_bar_Kid · 01-10-2008, 03:39 AM

i forgot the olive oil aswell, not even sure where it goes lol. tasted like a strawberry egg. maybe i did something wrong..

Eileen · 05-11-2008, 03:05 PM

Strawberry???

smd70 · 05-11-2008, 05:11 PM

didn't have vanilla whey, so I used strawberry whey..

jrmp · 05-11-2008, 05:17 PM

yuo could substitute the water with 4 tbsp of butter.....it tastes better i guess

areya2005 · 05-13-2008, 11:14 AM

just made these.....not bad. I wouldnt sell them in a bakery lol, but with my tastes, I enjoyed them. Used coconut oil instead of olive oil and put in some organic shredded unsweetened coconut......Yum

RTW2 · 05-13-2008, 11:28 AM

I made these last Sunday, strawbery whey with a little bit of COOL WHIP

SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

also toped a few with PB, not bad

Knux · 05-18-2008, 08:16 PM

Would there be any way to put like a cream filling in these (through Heavy Whipping Cream)?

Because that would be quite awesome.

Eileen · 05-19-2008, 04:17 AM

Yes, they are quite light and puffy. I often eat them while hot with melted butter in them, cream would be fine.

Knux · 05-19-2008, 08:20 PM

These didn't work for me.

Used ON 100% Double-Rich Chocolate Whey Protein and followed the recipe exactly. But the ingredients spread into 6 cups just weren't enough to make them bigger than a small cookie. Then, I tasted them, and they tasted like rubbery garbage.

I failed

Trashed em.

gixxer0.6g · 05-20-2008, 10:13 AM

I tired these and they were.....okay....BUT....I made them in the form of a round cake and put a little PB on top with some sugar free syrum and wallla! The best low carb pancakes I've ever had. Give them a try.

I've never used that whey, so that might be it, but it's more likely you used too much water, and maybe didn't whisk the egg whites enough.

about what degrees do you put the oven on.
