Jay, you can cook with whey but really need to observe some rules - whey absorbs moisture like a sponge and will make baked goods dry and rubbery. Like eating tyres. A waste of expensive whey. I sometimes bake with it but add in sufficient soft/moist ingredients to keep the texture great.
Good things to use are banana, fruit purees, sweet potato or pumpkin, pureed cooked cauliflower, cottage/ricotta cheese, that sort of thing.
Whey would not work well in the jaffa cookies as they need something that is a good sub for flour. Rice protein is great for that.
The whey might work in some brownie recipes, so long as there is enough moist ingredients and don't over cook.
Choc mint is OK if you like choc mint brownies? Just don't add other flavourings. What brownie recipe were you contemplating?
I love chocolate mint anythingI was thinking of using the Mexican protein ones.
That's actually been mostly what I've read about cooking with whey, so I only stir it into hot stuff if I need it. Tends to be ok then. Never actually cooked with it, though.
Might have to put it off for a while though, just got confirmation that I'm getting surgery on Monday. No brownies for a week or two *sadpandaface*
I just spent my afternoon going through every single recipe from the first page.. oh my lawd CCM.. Seriously, I worship you.. I cant cook 'to save my life, and creativity is even lower than my cooking abilities!.. I get so overwhelmed by it all! I am just going to continue to sit here and drool and wish!
thank you, sweetie
actually, I make sure the protein recipes are all pretty simple as I know a lot of people freak out at the thought of any complicated stuff to cook.
I keep the fancy schmancy techniques for my pastry cooking (just about to post up my salted caramel profiteroles tonight...ah I love making those)
I need to start being a bit more prolific with my blog. Got a bit of free time coming up over next month or two so will cram in some mega baking time!
my tip - jaffa cookies ....zomg even I am amazed by these!!!
Oh your recipes absolutely are simple compared to so many out there!.. But anything beyond 3 or 4 ingrediants and steps and I'm out.. I'm the girl who cooks my veggies (and well anything oven cooking) in cake tins because I own only the bare basic kitchen items!
Actually, can you list say 5 - 10 items (health conscious) that you ALWAYS have in your cupboard and most recipes generally are made of with the expecting of a specific extra ingrediants or two?
I'm honestly so proud of myself that I now have balsamic, fish sauce, soy sauce and a few little spices in my cupboard now! (this is a big step up for me! Haha!)
I missed this post last night! Thank you so much CCM!.. I'm browsing around on imsugarfree.com.au - wow, theres soooo many "diet friendly" products, although I have to be honest, the amount of all the unpronouncable ingrediants in all these "healthier" options makes me wonder
I'm going to stock up on some of the stuff in your above list though! Thank you!
Beware of sugar free foods
They're generally processed
I make my own and sweeten with fruit and stevia
Cinnamon or a pinch of salt also good in sugarless treats!
Agreed, thats what i'm noticing on all these "diet friendly" options, the ingrediants list is insane! Think i'll just stick to stalking you and J and attempting your recipes! Much kinder on my sensitive tummy too!
Damn you, CCM, you just made me lick my screen!!!!
I'm going to knock this bad-boy up before I drown in my own drool!!!
good thing you posted this before I went shopping.
Though no pea protein , will try with wpi and frozen berries.
Haven't baked anything sweet for over 18 months (usually to fattening).
You don't have a good recipe for a good high protein bread pudding ?
shit about to have an expresso that'd go down a TREAT
Thought about opening your own shop?
Pea protein isolate.. well I never! Haven't heard of plant based isolates, crazy
