Notes
Substitutions:
This recipe works well with whey concentrate. I wouldn't recommend using whey isolate, as the results will likely be dry and rubbery. I also wouldn't recommend using plant protein powders, as they bake very differently from whey.
If you want to use a whey/casein blend like Quest protein powder, you'll likely need more strawberries or other liquid (milk, water) since the casein is more drying than whey.
If you'd like to use a different flour, you'll likely need more than we're using of coconut flour since coconut flour is very drying.
Variations:
The best thing about this recipe is that you can switch up the flavor to be anything you like! Use a different flavor of whey concentrate, and/or use a different mashed fruit. Easy!
