Ingredients
Chocolate Cupcakes
- 3/4 cup (90g) whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 scoops (52g) Musclepharm chocolate milk combat protein powder
- 1/4 cup (20g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp. granulated stevia or erythritol
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 large whole egg
- 1/2 cup (113g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup (122g) canned pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp. unsweetened milk (I used almond)
- 3 tbsp. (36g) coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp. (30g) dark chocolate chips
Peanut Butter Frosting
- 1/2 cup (113g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp. (48g) Nuts N More protein peanut butter
- 2 tbsp. (32g) natural creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp. (12g) peanut flour
- 1/4 cup granulated stevia or erythritol
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Mix whole wheat flour, protein powder, cocoa, stevia, and baking powder in a large bowl. Add egg, Greek yogurt, pumpkin, almond milk, coconut sugar and vanilla extract to a separate bowl. Mix wet ingredients until smooth.
- Add wet ingredients to dry and gently mix together until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Spray 10 silicone cupcake liners with cooking spray. Spoon batter evenly into each cupcake liner. Each should be about 3/4 full. Put cupcakes into a baking dish or on a cookie sheet and put in the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes. I left mine a little underdone so they would be moist and brownie-like.
- One cupcakes are done, let them completely cool before adding frosting. Start making frosting while cupcakes cool. Mix Greek yogurt, peanut butter, peanut flour, and stevia in a medium bowl. Add frosting to a piping bag and frost each cupcake. Chop up peanut butter cup protein bar into small pieces and top each cupcake with a piece. Enjoy!
