adding protein powder when cooking... ???
I sell a product which shall remain nameless so no one thinks I am drumming up business...lol
Anyhow - needed to try a recipe for a microwave cake before demo-ing it at a party. Here's the recipe:
1 pkg devil's food cake make (I used the new Pillsbury Sugar-free mix)
1 15 oz can of pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
3 eggs
1 T cinnamon vanilla
put in the cooker (which shall remain nameless...lol), place in microwave and cook for 9 1/2 minutes. (micros vary)
I calculated nutrition info and here it is for 1/12 of cake (which I did not eat 1/12th - but my hubby has had his share of it!!!)
32g carbs 4g protein 5g fat 2g fiber 1.3g sugar 151 calories
I know, I know - too many carbs for some but if you are an all things in moderation person once in a blue moon this is not bad given total calories and sugar.. I topped it with SF cool whip.
So - my question is this...Has anyone ever added a scoop of protein powder to a recipe and how does it work out when you do? Thinking it would be a way to make it even more friendly for that once in a blue moon treat.
I appreciate all comments and suggestions!
