Hi Irene, I’m going to try this. Did you add the powder to your normal recipe or did you leave something out and replace it with whey?

A: Irene_M
I have a cup cake recipe that I modified to the above ingredients. May do some more experimenting. If I were to make the cupcakes again I would dissolve 3 scoops of the Fonterra protein in 1/3 cup of water. Maybe this would make them less crumbly.
