Changed it up bit. Used sweet potato instead of squash and a bit different on the spices. Added a full scoop of Isopure flavorless Protein Powder and they came out great.

Those look good!

Agreed, they do look like a lot of prep and cook time. But maybe worth it.

Prep and cooking did take a long time. I had to bake the final product longer than suggested, for some reason they were a bit more wet than I had imagined. I may try them again and add more Protein Powder.

I read some of the comments at the bottom. Someone else had that problem, too. The recipe creator suggested that they cut the squash (or sweet potato in your case) smaller before roasting, in order to dry it out more.

That makes sense. Although I cut the potato down to 1/2 inch squares baking them seemed to harden the exterior and make a sort of a capsule around them. As I added the ingredients and mashed it all together it got pretty wet. Maybe if I make them again adding more Protein powder will absorb the liquid/moistness.

There’s this girl on instagram who does all the time. Autumnnoir she uses unico Protein powders and makes all kinds of bariatric friendly Desserts like frosting, Cookies, whoopie pies. Many of the recipes are also on pinterest. They look super yummy, im just more of a chef personally, not a baker which is why i haven’t actually made them myself yet.

Actually her instagram is autumnxnoir, sorry i accidentally misspelled it. Her name is Heather.

Just looked her IG up. Never been into sweets or deserts but cool that she's doing her thing. I know there must be tons of WLSr's that appreciate her posts. Did see some savory meals I'll be checking out. Gotta say though her before and afters are amazing. Thanks for sharing her IG.

Have you checked out the Skinnytaste website? It's not bariatric-specific, but the foods are healthy and the recipes I've tried have been great! These are all foods the whole family can eat.

Checked out SkinnyTaste. Some great recipes, I think I have some saved from there but never looked at any others they offered.
