So... going off the asker's orig question though...
Do you count the "recipe" since it has extra carbs as your restricted IP for the day? Or since you may have made it with pudding do you just count is as your unrestricted and therefore can eat a bar later? Thanks!

If it's made with a restricted IP packet - it's a restricted packet, and we can only have 1/day
If it's made with an unrestricted IP packet - it's an unrestricted packet, you can still have 1 restricted in the day
Some folks make recipes using 2 IP unrestricted packets (Wildberry Pancakes = IP WB Yogurt + IP Crispy Cereal, both unrestricted) - they count as 2 IP unrestricted packets.
Some use recipes using 2 IP packets - 1 restricted + 1 unrestricted (Cookies & Cream Ice Cream = Crushed Soy Puffs + IP Vanilla Pudding Ice Cream) , they count as 2 packets = 1 restricted + 1 unrestricted.
Any extra calories from 1/2 tsp baking powder are as negligible as other extras - Splenda, Walden Farms, etc. and should be accounted for as an extra & logged in your food journal. Some folks find they are sensitive to these extras, so logging & tracking them is always important in case tweaks are needed. But you can only find this out for yourself and looking at your losses and intake.
And only 2 egg whites/day MAX are counted as "free" - at least with my coach, ALWAYS check with your own coach - as they are so low in calories and come from all protein.
These recipes are composed of the packets and 2 egg whites with negligible calories/carbs from "extras" for a reason - so they can be easily tracked and accounted for as the packet they were created from.
