I'm trying to make an alternative to high protein bars based on a recipe i seen.
Here's what i'm using:
280g pumpkin
5ml Vanilla extract
30g vanilla protein powder isolate
125g cottage cheese
250g light cream cheese
about 8 medium size strawberries
10g calorie free sweetner
2 egg whites
I blend everything together and put in a bread loaf tray, preheat oven to 300/180 and cook for about 30-35 mins.
Remove and put in fridge for about an hour. Although its quite tasty for a low calorie snack its also quite soggy, what can i do to make it much less soggy. I don't really have much cooking experience so it might be obvious but not to me.
Since its a low calorie snack i would like to try and avoid putting in anything too high in calories so keep that in mind but it solves the soggy issue then im happy to add a few calories.
The first time i used little smaller bar shaped containers and they seemed to cook better so i might use that instead of the loaf tray, more washing up though
