Cranberry Protein Souffle

My special dessert for the Glee Finale tonight. If you are fellow Glee fan (aka Gleek) savor every minute of the tonight's show because the finale has to hold us till April. Yep, that's not a typo. No new episodes till April. Grrr.

I forgot how much I love these protein souffles. I haven't made them in awhile. If you heart bread pudding you will LOVE these. Very bread pudding-ish. They are also a great breakfast.


Shelly's Cranberry Protein Souffle

1/4 cup Walnuts &/or Raisins
2 eggs
1 cup Vanilla Soy Milk
1/2 cup Unsweetened Coconut
3 Tablespoons Sugar Free Torani Syrup (I used SF Vanilla - on sale now)
3 Tablespoons Multigrain Pancake Mix, dry (I use this)
1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 cup Cranberry Sauce (I used regular but a quick Google search will give you some SF recipes)
dash Cinnamon
Topping: SF Whipped Cream or SF Maple Syrup

Sprinkle the raisins and nuts into bottom of each ramekin.

Mix all remaining ingredients in a blender till smooth. Pour mixture into 4 ramekins or custard cups.

Here's what I use. If you don't have a groovy set up like this. Just place the ramekins in a large roasting pan. Place pan on oven rack and pour enough very hot water to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake at 350 for 1 hour or until set, knife inserted comes out clean. Serve chilled with SF whipped cream.

Highlights of the day:

* Storm has cleared. Sky is blue. Sun is shining. Must hit the park today. Soak up some Vitamin D and enjoy this fresh just washed world.

* It's my nephew's birthday today. Happy Birthday Branden. He's just about to take the bar exam. It'll be nice to have an attorney in the family. It offers you the freedom to wig out at a discount. Who knows I might want to pull a Towanda. You remember Towanda from Fried Green Tomatoes...

Evelyn (Kathy Bates character): Excuse me. I was waiting for that space.
Girl #1: Yeah, tough!
Girl #2: Face it, lady, we're younger and faster.
Evelyn: Towanda (screams and smashes into the car) Towanda!! Yes ma'am!
Girl #2: What are you doing? Are you crazy?
Evelyn: Face it, girls. I'm older and I have more insurance.

... and a nephew who's an attorney ;)

* Now Mmmm coffee and tunes...
