I eventually made it without the protein powder. I cut the calories in about half (from 2902 to 1693) mainly by cutting most of the fat and some of the sugar out of the dish. I need to make it for a party on the 19th so for the moment I won't play with it anymore. I also stuck with all-purpose flour. I taste-tested it with three of the neighbours (best way of getting rid of it) and it passed with flying colours. I suspect nobody would have suspected. It's that damn zucchini - kept it moist.
Later in the summer when we're drowning in zucchini I will likely try it with a combination of flours and drop in some protein powder as well for fun. If it's passable I'll post it here. I'm going to be looking for something to pack in the fall when I'm away from the house all day, and I just don't get into the protein bars. I make one for my mother but I'm not sure I'd want to eat it every day.
