Table of Contents
Have you heard about the ridiculously cute-AND-only-70-calories alteration (I may have just made that word up) system of FFF.
You guys, these little babies rival the Mini Pancake Skewers in cute-osity, and I seriously am SO pumped to share these with you. I know, you’re rolling your eyeballs at me, groaning and saying “But, you’re always so pumped to share things with us”
But, I mean, LOOK! Mini cupcakes that are ONLY 70 CALORIES, gluten-free AND they are packed with protein!
Yes, that sentence just happened to your life. Doesn’t it feel more complete now?
You’re welcome. First, let’s chat about things that I am in <3 with.

And by that, I mean this Cupcake Flavored Protein Powder from Protein Milkshake Bar.
Yes, it does taste like a cupcake (!!!) which obviously means that it should be baked INTO a cupcake right?
Even if you don’t understand me very often, I KNOW that you guys understand anything involving cupcakes.
Especially cupcakes that you can consume multiple of, and for an everyday snack or even, dare I say it, FOR BREAKFAST?
I mean, the “frosting” is made from Greek yogurt, which has “eat me upon rising” written alllll over it.

INGREDIENTS:
- 1/4 Cup + 1 Tbsp Coconut flour sifted (31 g)
- 2 1/2 Tbsp Cupcake Batter 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
- 1/4 tsp Butter extract *
- Frosting:
- 1/3 Cup Non-fat Plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 Cup Cupcake Batter Protein powder
- Sweetener of choice and to taste (I used a pinch of Stevia)

INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, stir together the sifted coconut flour, protein powder, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, honey, Greek yogurt, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and butter extract with an electric hand mixer until well combined.
- Stir in the flour mixture and then beat again until very smooth.
- Pour the batter into the muffin tins (I used about 1 Tbsp per cupcake) and let it stand for 10 minutes before baking, to allow the coconut flour to begin absorbing the liquid.
- Bake until they are just set and a toothpick comes out clean, about 10 minutes. The cupcakes may feel a little on the softer side, but they firm up once cooling. It’s very important to not overbake products with protein powder, or they can go quite “spongy.” Let cool.
- To make the frosting: Stir together the Greek yogurt and the protein powder, and sweeten to taste.
- Spread, or pipe onto the cupcakes and devour!

Tips & Notes:
* This makes enough for a the cute little dollop of frosting on each cupcake that you see in the picture, if you want them covered with more frosting, double the recipe!
Cupcakes are best fresh, or stored covered at room temperature, and frosted just before serving. If you must frost them in advance, store them in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before serving. Please note that refrigeration slightly affects the texture.

Matea says
These are adorable! And since they’re mini that means I can have, like, ten, right?
Taylor Kiser says
It means you SHOULD have 10 😉 Ha! Thanks girl!
gabby says
They turned out so bad. followed to a t. terrible
Taylor Kiser says
I’m sorry to hear that Gabby – I made these many times and my husband and I loved them! Did you use the Protein Milkshake Bar Protein Powder? I would love to try to help you figure out what went wrong!
Inez says
Hello! I don’t have any whey protein powder, and I’m trying to make these this weekend, but I do have plant based protein powder. Would I be able to use that instead, and still yield ok results? I know the liquid ratio would have to be changed, but just want to make sure I see if you have any advice before I make these!
Taylor Kiser says
Hi Inez! Unfortunately, I really can’t say as I haven’t tested the recipe with plant based protein powder, because I am not a huge fan of it! I THINK you would be ok but, as I said, I really can’t tell you for sure. I am sorry! Please let me know if you try them!
Maria Jackson says
i tried these and they came out really good taste wise. consistency wise they were dry and had shriveled upwards at the bottom. These still were really good, I just want to know where I went wrong.
Taylor Kiser says
It could very well be the protein powder that you used, did you use the exact same one that I used in the recipe? Protein powder is VERY finicky and different from brand to brand!
