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.

Hello these, theme twin, fellow Despicable Me lover, and sister in Christ! I love this recipe and your blog! I subscribed RIGHT AWAYYY. These cupcakes (do we dare call something healthy “cupcakes?” oh yes, yes we dare.) look fantastic, and I love that they are topped with Greek yogurt (my fave!) and are guilt free. So beautiful!
Most importantly- yes. Despicable Me is amazing, and the second one WAS better than the first!!! I cannot stop asking how they did that!
Can’t wait to explore the rest of your blog!

Oh my goodness, we are soulmates!! HI! I just checked out your blog, and it also looks fabbity fab!!
I love how you live on edge and call these healthy “cupcakes” a girl after my own heart!
So happy that you agree about Despicable Me two! It’s SO hard to find a sequel better than the first right?!
Thanks so much for stopping by!! SO great to have you! 🙂
