How many grams of protein is in the powder you used? Next time I guess I will have to add more with maybe less milk and oats to keep the same consistency. Has anyone else tried these? -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Some things have to be believed to be seen!

Also I didn't mix the milk with it in liquid form. I mixed it as a powder. I guess I should also tell you that I used olive oil and not butter. I never use butter, I always replace butter with olive oil. -------------- I will lift my own weight someday!!!!!

My son liked them, but I made some notes of modifications to try next time. Thanks. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Some things have to be believed to be seen!

I did add another egg white as I was afraid they would be dry. They came out pretty good. Better than my first ones, I thinked I baked those too long. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Some things have to be believed to be seen!
