Everyone enjoys a good cupcake every now and then, and this one literally takes the cake because it’s high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats. One cupcake clocks in at 11g of protein.
1/4 cup vanilla or cake batter flavored protein powder
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
2 tbsp Neufchatel cheese or low-fat cream cheese, softened
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Coconut sugar, optional
Directions
Mix the wet and dry cupcake base ingredients separately, and then combine.
Divide the batter evenly among six lightly greased slots of a standard-size muffin tin. Bake at 350° for 10 to 15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
For the frosting, whip together all the ingredients, sweeten to taste, and spread it on the cupcakes.
