Ingredients
Modere Pure Chocolate Whey Protein 1/2 cup
Oat flour 1/2 cup
Unsweetened cocoa powder 1/4 cup
Baking powder 1 tsp
Greek yogurt 170 g
Whole egg 1
Egg white 1 white
Unsweetened almond milk 1/4 cup
Stevia or other powdered sweetener 1/3 cup
Natural peanut butter 1/3 cup
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
2. Combine all the ingredients except the peanut butter in a food processor.
3. Divide the mixture between nine cups in a cupcake tin. Then pop a teaspoon of peanut butter in each and push it down so it is submerged.
4. Bake the cupcakes for around 10-15 minutes until they’re cooked through. They’re best eaten fresh from the oven. If you have any leftovers, microwave them later to re-melt the peanut butter center.
Pro Tip
No need to run out to the market for oat flour! The oat flour can be made by blending up oats in a food processor. It can also be substituted for brown rice flour or almond flour in other recipes.
