Never shying away from a challenge or funny innuendos, fitness entertainer Will Tennyson has won the hearts (and appetites) of two.5 million YouTube subscribers together with his eating agendas, off-topic adventures, 24-hour torture tests, and training collabs, to call a couple of of his ambitious endeavors.
Tennyson appears secure and sound in his kitchen, where he’s rustling up among the most delectable “fit” treats to satisfy the protein needs of his fellow gym bros and broettes. So grab your chef’s tools, pick a dessert recipe, or why not YOLO with all three? Delight yourself in a guilt-free confection!
Tennyson recommends a high quality vanilla whey casein protein powder for best baking results. Avoid using a whey-only powder.
Strawberry Protein “Shorty” Cake
“Sometimes I’m in the tub feeling sort of fruity, and I want to satisfy that urge.” Tennyson isn’t a fan of fruit in cakes, but there are all the time exceptions to the rule. “Would you place cheese in a margarita? I don’t think so”.
Thankfully, lots of us would never share his same sentiment, so we’re not offended either way.
Here’s what you’ll need for the “shorty” cake:
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups oat flour (Tennyson blends two cups of oats in a food processor)
- ½ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup sweetener of alternative
- 90 grams whey casein protein powder
- 3 tbsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 140 grams egg whites
- 150 grams Greek yogurt
- 1.5 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
- Roughly 1 tbsp honey (Raw Manuka or natural/avoid low cost artificial-tasting honey)
- ¼ cup milk/milk substitute
Combine all ingredients and preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
“You could probably kill someone with this batter,” said Tennyson, suggesting how dense the recipe felt because it poured it into the bakeware.
Spread the mixture evenly on the dish or pan then bake it for 20-25 minutes, depending on the oven. When it’s done, let cool for a couple of minutes, then cut into your required portion sizes.
Tennyson spreads a skinny layer of sugar-free jam, tops it with fresh strawberries, after which swirls on some low-calorie coconut whipped cream from a can. Garnish the highest with a couple of more berries of your alternative.
“If you show as much as the family crib with this for Easter brunch, it’s going to be their taste buds which are resurrected,” said Tennyson, indulging in his culinary masterpiece. “I do know why it’s called a shortcake because one bite and the remaining of the cake just isn’t lasting long.”
Tennyson fancied his concoction a lot he wouldn’t mind it as a marriage cake. Perhaps an option for power couples?
Protein French Toast Bagels
The shorty cake could also be in a league of its own, but French toast bagels will hit in another way after an evening of fasting.
“That probably is one among the higher recipes I even have ever made, seriously,” said Tennyson.
Here’s what you’ll need for these sinful French toast bagels:
- ½ cup greek yogurt
- ½ cup emphasized self-rising flour, “not regular flour.”
- ½ cup whey casein protein powder
- Cinnamon for “French toast vibes”
- Raisins (optional)
Topping
- 1-2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
- 1.5 tsp cinnamon
- 1-2 tbsp brown sugar (Swerve)
- 1 tsp vanilla
Follow these instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix all bagel ingredients to form a big dough ball. Add slightly flour if needed to forestall sticking.
- Place 4 smaller, same-sized dough balls on the baking tray.
- Create donut holes with a shot glass, rolling pin, or whatever works for you.
- Mix the topping ingredients, then drizzle the mixture onto the bagels.
- Stick the bagels within the oven for 15-20 minutes, and check on them incessantly.
Take the bagels out, allow them to sit for a couple of minutes, then spread your favorite dairy-free or low-fat cream cheese, and welcome to Flavorcity! Tennyson emphasized using a whey casein protein powder to get that perfect cakey and moist texture.
“If you were to make these bagels with a whey or isolate without the casein (protein powder), they might be drier than a towel.”
Protein Banana Fritters
The last dessert is a stovetop recipe with just 4 ingredients, not including coconut oil for frying. For banana fritters, you’ll need:
- 2 large bananas mashed
- 2 tbsp Whey/casein Protein Powder
- 3 tbsp coconut flour
- pinch of salt
Mix all ingredients, then pan-fry in slightly coconut oil until golden and crispy on each side.
Finally, top your fritters with sugar-free ice cream, sugar-free syrup, and peanut butter powder (In that order) to enter tastebuds heaven.
“These appear to be Michelin star desserts,” proudly proclaimed the muscle cook.
