2. Bake mixture at 170 Celsius for 20 minutes.
3. Mix vanilla casein powder with coconut milk until it’s creamy for the filling.
4. Use a chopstick to puncture the twinkie as pictured below and use a bag with a hole in it to fill it up with the filling.

This recipe is pure genius!
Unfortunately, I just gave my ON vanilla casein to a friend b/c I was having trouble using it….now I want it back!
Great recipe!

Amazing, something originally considered the bumhole of junk-food, made into a high protein cake. Reposting this

Had some difficulty with the lack of sweetness to these.
Oh am sorry 🙁 Did you use ON vanilla casein? because I find it very sweet in itself? always try your batters before you cook them though, just to make sure stuff is as sweet as you like it (i have a taste for the darrrrrk side of chocolate so i think a lot of my stuff is more towards the not very sweet?)
