YOU CAN BAKE DISHES WITH RAW WHEY

Do you think it’s impossible to have your cake and eat it too? Well, you have not added whey to your batter so far. This simple addition raises protein content by several notches and satisfies your sweet tooth without making you feel guilty. Learn to bake new dishes with raw whey protein. 

Baking with raw whey protein is simple if you follow certain guidelines. Since whey is a drying ingredient, you need to be careful when you substitute whey protein with baking flour in your recipes. While baking with whey protein, you are better off using quinoa and oatmeal flour.

1. It’s easy to sneak in whey protein in readymade pancake or cake mixes, but do ensure that the batter should not contain more than 1/4 whey protein.
2. Since whey is dehydrating in nature, therefore it needs to be baked in the company of ingredients like Greek yogurt, applesauce, bananas or berries to add moisture to it.
3. You should use a binding substance like egg whites or whole eggs when you are baking.
4. Whey protein will burn at high temperature. Therefore, keep the temperature 25 degrees lower than usual when you are baking with whey protein.
5. Do not beat the whey cake mix too vigorously
