Chocolaty Zucchini Bread
Don't know if this is the recipe you were thinking of, Pat, but this is very WLS friendly. It's from my gastric bypass cookbook, On Your Way, which can be purchased at mmpc.com, click on weight management program.
2 medium eggs
1 c. Splenda
1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce
3 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. almond extract (I ran out last week and used vanilla and it tasted fine)
1 c. grated zucchini
2/3 c. all-purpose flour
2/3 c. whole-wheat flour
1/4 c. whey protein flour (I use AnyWhey, it's tasteless)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 ts. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. baking powder
In a mixing bowl, beat together the first six ingredients. Combine the remaining ingredients and add them to the first mixture. Bake the batter in a sprayed 9" x5" loaf pan at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes OR in 12 sprayed muffin cups at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes. If making bread, cool it in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before removing the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
Recipe note: This recipe produces a 9" x5" loaf pan yielding 16 (5/8-inch) slices at 54.3 cals, 3.2g of protein, 0.9 g of fat and 11.7 g of net carbs each OR 12 muffins at 72.3 cals, 4.4 g of protein, 1.2 g of fat and 15.2 g of net carb each.
Very yummy ... good for a chocolate fix!

Thanks for the recipe. It sounds so good and I am sure when the chocolate need comes (and I know it will) I think this is going to help better than the surgar free chocolate "candy bar" (it sure is awfully small too). I am going to make this. I have never cooked with protein flour or with any kind of protein before. Is it going to taste funny or do you not even notice the powder or flour is in there? That is what scares me since the thought of it makes me sick to my stomach. I think that comes from the "soup" they served me in the hospital and the nurse asked why I didn't eat my oatmeal. She wanted to vomit too when I told her it wasn't oatmeal but soup. lol
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
No, Brenda, the protein powder is tasteless ... buy AnyWhey, it smells kinda like Bisquick but has no taste whatsoever and you can bake with it; you can mix in soups or yogurt or anything. It mixes very well. Adds a good punch of protein. I've brought this to work and not told anyone it was healthy stuff and they loved it.
Brenda,,
I cook with whey powder all the time.I just exchange flour for the whey powder. It alters the taste a tiny bit, but you won't even notice it.I have cooked with whey for 2 years now, cause meat doesn't agree with me, I must admit I dont add it to soup, but to all my baked goods, scones, biscotti, cookies. I always cut back on the sugars, and have no problem at all with foods and whey. Peggysue
