Cookie or Brownie Recipe Anyone?

Hi all!

I've had the urge to bake and was hoping that anyone can recommend a good recipe for Cookies or Brownies where I can incorporate protein and that is WLS friendly.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi Tiffany!

Peanut Butter Protein Cookes
1 to 1 1/2 cups natural peanut butter (I use Skippy - no gross oil!)
1 cup splenda
1 egg or 1/3 cup egg beaters
1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder

*Don't forget to put the fork marks in the cookies otherwise they don't bake as good!
*Mix and stick in fridge for 10-15 mins; then bake at 350* for 8-9 minutes. Any longer than that and they get too dry and crumbly. I've also made these with 1 cup oatmeal mixed in and sugar free chocolate chunks - yumm! If you do add some oatmeal in I would suggest to do a little bit more egg, mine came out too dry with just 1 egg


Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup splenda
1/2 cup applesauce *I use this instead of vegetable oil, you would never know the difference!
1 egg or egg beaters equivilent
2 cups whole wheat flour *bakes the same as white, you'd never know the difference!
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups sugar free chocolate chips/chunks
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1 scoop vanilla/unflavored protein powder

Combine pumpkin, splenda, applesauce, and egg. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, protein powder and salt. Dissolve the baking soda with the milk and stir in. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and mix well.
Add vanilla, chocolate chips and nuts.
Drop by spoonful on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350* for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly brown and firm.

Pillsbury has sugar free brownies & cake mixes (yellow & choc), all tasty & not dry like some diet stuff can be. I found a recipe for pumpkin cookies -1 box yellow cake mix 1 can 15 oz pumpkin  2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice, I added a  bit of splenda brown sugar (no eggs, water or oil) mix then drop by spoon onto baking sheet or parchment paper bake at 350 for about 16-18 minutes and you get big fluffy cookies but they are kinda ugly and you could easily add protein, choc chips or nuts. I can eat about 1.5 coz they're kind of big but it takes care of a crave and everyone likes them. My first attempt I made mix as directed & added the other stuff-they come out flatter & sorta chewy-but everyone liked them too!

What an  awesome recipe! I can't wait  to try it,  thanks for sharing !
