Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Mix whole wheat flour, protein powder, stevia, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda in a bowl.
- In another bowl, mix almond milk, greek yogurt, pumpkin, vanilla extract and butter extract.
- Heat coconut oil in a small bowl until melted. Add coconut oil to wet ingredients and mix.
- Add wet ingredients to dry slowly. Mix slowly while pouring in wet ingredients.
- Line a muffin tin with 8 cupcake liners. Spoon batter evenly into each.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a knife comes out clean. Mine took about 16 minutes. They will dry out quickly if over baked.
- Make frosting by mixing cream cheese and greek yogurt.
- Add stevia brown sugar blend, protein powder, and coconut flour. Mix very well so that there are no clumps of flour or protein powder. Lastly add sugar free maple syrup and mix until smooth.
- Put frosting in piping bag and frost each cupcake evenly.
Notes
* Greek yogurt and canned pumpkin could be subbed for all greek yogurt, or all pumpkin. Also you could sub for an equal amount of applesauce or mashed banana but taste might be slightly different.
* If you do not have butter extract, you can just use more vanilla extract.
