Mock Pumpkin Pie

[Jill]

1/3C oats
1/2-1 scoop vanilla protein
2 egg whites
1/4C canned pumpkin. (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
1tsp vanilla
1tsp baking soda
1tsp baking powder
dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice
Art. sweetner to taste

Mix all ingredients together. Let sit about 5 minutes. Cook in a frying pan sprayed with pam. If you cook one side a little longer than the other, you will get sort of a crust. This is soooooo yummy. Do not over cook. I like mine a little raw on the inside. More like REAL pie that way.

Jill why both baking soda and baking powder? would just baking powder do?

Ona separate note I tried your Oat fiber ( F1) pancakes but mine tasted way too much like baking soda... yours don't?

I use both D, I dont know why. Try 1/2tsp of both then. I just kinda estimate.

Mmmmmm I am eating this right now and it is sooo yummy!!!
I think I might try 1/2 tsp baking soda next time - but I luv this!

I just figured out the macros for mine (and this was a decent size, pretty filling):

215
26.5 C
18.3 P
4 F

I guess I could use a whole scoop of protein next time to bump up the protein.

Thanks Jill for this great recipe!

I am confused now....wasn' it true that adding protein powder to recipes which require cooking is pointless since even a brief exposure to heat distroys it? So I am not sure if you wanna add more protein poweder other than the amount needed for consistency jstar.

Cooking with a whey protein will not alter the biological value/ protein content to any appreciable extent (you still get the protein - so add it if you want protein) but you will change the biological function of the whey (that is, you will alter the structure of the proteins so they will no longer have the immune boosting effect/ anabolic effect/ anti-cancer effect that whey has.

I would suggest you cook with a soy/egg or casein protein though - just because they tend to withstand cooking better and they do not dry out recipes as much as whey.

 

[wtfzor]

use egg protein for cooking
