Protein Powder Cupcakes

I struggled planning the husband’s 30th birthday party… what to have on the menu?

I wanted to make something tasty that even he would eat… but something healthy enough that I could enjoy too.

Off to the kitchen I went and I came up with Protein Powder Cupcakes ❤

 Prep: 15 mins * Cook Time: 10 mins
(serves 12)

Ingredients: 

  • 1/4 cup coconut, whole wheat, or oat flower
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp Cupcake Batter or Vanilla Protein Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 1/2 Tbsps Honey
  • 1 Tbsp Non-fat, plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 Tbsp Coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract
  • Frosting:
  • 1/3 Cup Non-fat Plain, Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 Cup Cupcake Batter Protein powder
  • Sweetener of choice (to taste)

 Making it:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray (I used Trader Joe’s Coconut Oil)
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, protein powder and salt
  4. In another bowl, whip the eggs, honey, yogurt, coconut oil and vanilla extract with an electric mixer
  5. Stir in the flour mixture and then beat again until smooth
  6. Pour the batter into the muffin tins (I used about 1 Tbsp per cupcake)
  7. Let it stand for 10 minutes before baking, to allow the coconut flour to begin absorbing the liquid
  8. Bake for 10-15 minutes until they are set and a toothpick comes out clean
  9. The cupcakes will become more firm as they cool
  10. Let cool

Frosting:

  1. Stir together the yogurt and the protein powder, and sweeten to taste

Voila! Healthy Birthday Cake “CHECK“
