1 stick of butter melted
2 eggs
2 1/2 scoops of the vanilla protein powder
one small package of SF banana pudding mix dry
1/2 tsp. of vanilla
1/2 cup of sweetener
1/4 +tsp. of baking powder
Then I added water after I mixed this all up. I think I must have added about 3/4 of a cup until it looked like cake batter.
Poured into a large loaf pan with Parchment on the bottom and baked at 325 for about 25 minutes until a toothpick in the middle comes out dry. This raised pretty high..Pieces on the sides were about an inch tall.

OMG I hope Krogers has SF banana pudding mix! If they do I know what flavor I'm making tonight!!!!

Bumping.

There are so many delicious-sounding tweaks, how am I ever going to choose which version to try first?!? Where do I start??

[MsWoods]

Well, it's been a while since I've made these, but for your first go, I would say:

2 eggs
3 scoops whey protein powder (vanilla)
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup sweetener (I use liquid sweet n low)
1tsp baking powder
3oz softened cream cheese
1tsp vanilla (or any other extract you may like)

If you rather have chocolate add 2tbsp cocoa powder. This is a good base to go off of.

Cream cheese is a bit of a factor for me in losing, so most of the time I omit it, but it's a lot dryer. The cream cheese helps keep it more moist.

Thank you!!

Oh, also, I no longer use liquid sweet & low, i find it vile. I use sugar free vanilla torani.

[darlingnikki]

I keep getting it really dry on the edges and raw in the middle, what am I doing wrong?

[MsWoods]

I'm not sure, what recipe are you using. You need to make sure the batter is evenly spread out in the baking dish also.

I'll have to get in the kitchen and make some so I can see for sure what problems you guys are having. It really has been almost a year since I made these.

Bumping for newbies.

I did basically make them with glu powder and they were moist and delicious. It was kind of a mix of this recipe and Marcea's parmesan roll recipe.

I need to try these.

[MsWoods]

Just a warning, the first recipes are more hard and bar like, not really cake like, as the recipe evolves with the different changes, it gets more cake like. The ones with the glucc powder are delicious and moist.

I like simple recipes with few ingredients. I know there are better recipes out there for things like this, but I don't like having to buy all that extra special stuff.

I like it because when I want something sweet I can throw this together, cook, and EAT!!
If I have nothing around sweet to eat, it is very sad. don't want to do what I used to do, which is eat everything in site!!!!!!!
Love this WOE!!!!

[MsWoods]

Aaaah, love these. If you have time, read through the tweaks. The best one I've found is around the end somewhere, let me see if I can find it.

Here ya go.

Also if you happen to have gluccomannan powder, the glucc version I posted a few posts back is my favorite. If you click on the link to my blog there are pictures and detailed instructions.

Glucc cupcakes.

ehh theses turned out really wierd for me texture-wise. I melted lindt 90% cocloate into the butter instead of cocoa powder and I used protizyme chocolate cake flavored powder.

SO I am cutting them into smaller pieces, drying them out to make a faux coco puffs cereal in the morning! Should be enough for 4 bowls at or 3 or 4 carbs a bowl!. they seem pretty sogginess-resistant, which is good because I always hated cereal that get soggy in 5 minutes.

I realized that I should do this when I was dipping the fresh warm (albeit spongy,rubbery) ones into almond milk. Yum but odd. In tiny peices they will harden I think.

I guess I accidently discovered a home-made cold cereal I can make!

I think they didn't turn out because of my substitutions OR because it is a different brand. Either way, yay. I can doll up a bowl of cereal too! stoked!
