Recipe for High Protein Pizookie
Ingredients
- 1 scoop whey (25g)
- 1 egg white (46g)
- 3 tbsp (45g) pumpkin puree or unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp baking powder
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a small 6” cake pan or single serving cast iron skillet.
- Mix all ingredients and bake for ~ 15 mins or until set.
- OR – In a large microwave safe bowl, cook for ~ 1:30, then for 30 secs at a time JUST until set. Cook time varies greatly by microwave wattage. You don’t want to overcook it as it will dry out, so if it’s still gooey in spots you can let it sit to firm up a bit as it cools.
*Don’t do this in a mug unless you are halving the recipe! (Baking in the oven gives a better texture).
