baking with protein powder

since im having a hard time drinking the protein powder im thinking of using some of my unflavored and baking with it.  Has anyone ever used powder in something, like muffins, brownies, or something??

I have heard of folks using it in baking or blending it in chili or soup. I know the consistency will change if heated to a certain point; similar to the way an egg white will go from liquid to spongy when cooked. I'll see if I can find some recipes. You might give it a Google though.

My concern would be that the high heat of baking would cause the protein to break down. If possible, ask the manufacturer whether or not high heat will ruin the protein before you try it.

Decadent Protein Brownies

3 scoops whey protein powder (chocolate)

2 T heavy whipping cream

8 oz water

1 whole egg

Pull all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.  Pour contents into microwave safe dish and microwave for 5-8 minutes.  Remove from microwave, cover and let cool at room temp for 15-20 minutes.

Holy shiz biz!!!! You just blew my mind major mom! Excited to try this!!! You rock :)

I have used it in baking I dont use a ton but I'll put 3 or 4 scoops in my almond flour muffins I make and I've had no issues with it there.

The World According to Eggface has some interesting looking protein muffins that use protein powder.  I haven't made any yet but I have tried her "bites" recipes and they are really good.  I love her blog!

I just went to http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/  and searched on "protein muffins".
