You can use the links that I have provided for each recipe. I have also put them below for your
convenience. My versions include the
brand of protein that I enjoy the most.
You can use whatever protein you prefer.
I am a big supporter of 100% hydrolyzed whey protein isolate.
This is a recipe that I found here: https://masonfit.com/birthday-cake-protein-cupcakes/
I like this recipe because it is packed with protein, and
lower on the end of calories and carbs (I am NOT saying that carbs are
bad). They also look pretty, which I think
can help satisfy the need for the tasty looking sweet treats during this time
of year.
I give the credit for the recipe to the author of masonfit.com. Well done, Mason!
Ingredients:
CUPCAKES
- 3 Scoops Vanilla Dymatize ISO100 Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate
- ½ C All Purpose Flour
- 3/8 C Coconut Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- ¾ C Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- ¼ C Light Butter
- ½ C Fat Free Greek Yogurt (vanilla or plain) – Vanilla will have more sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- 1-2 tsp Vanilla
- 1 T sprinkles are optional
FROSTING
- 2 oz Fat Free Cream Cheese
- 1/4 C Fat Free Greek Yogurt (vanilla or plain)
- 1 Scoop Vanilla Dymatize ISO Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate
Cooking Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 325F and line a 12-muffin tin
with cupcake liners or baking cups.
2. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl and
be sure to get any clumps of coconut flour completely incorporated
3. Gradually add the milk, yogurt, butter, and
egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until
smooth
4. Fold the sprinkles into the cupcake batter
5. Transfer the batter to the cupcake liners as
evenly as possible. Each liner should be
around 3/4 full.
6. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick
comes out clean. Avoid overcooking as
protein treats run a higher risk of being dry / tough with overcooking.
7. Remove the cupcake liners from the muffin tin
to cool.
8. While your protein cupcakes cool, mix the
frosting ingredients in a bowl.

This recipe is great for potassium, healthy carbs, fiber, lots of protein, and antioxidants from the blueberries.

Kelly asked me not to post the actual recipe onto my blog; however, she did give me permission to tell you all about it. This is a good alternative to other "goodies" where you can enjoy it AND not have all of the guilt.
This last recipe can be found here: http://www.thenaturallynatalie.com/healthier-chocolate-black-bean-muffins/
I could not find a way to contact Natalie and ask if I could
publish her recipe. You can click the
link above to find out how to make these yummy chocolate muffins.
I recommend bringing one or two of these with you when you
think that you might be in a challenging position this holiday season. Or any season!
