Cupcakes
Frosting
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F. Add flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to a bowl.
In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, Truvia, vanilla extract and milk. Combine wet and dry ingredients and gently stir together until a smooth batter forms.
Spray a muffin pan with non-stick spray. Spoon batter into 10 spots in the muffin pan
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean. Depending on your oven, you may need slightly more baking time. Be careful not to over-bake or they will dry out.
Once baked, take out of the oven and let completely cool while making the frosting.
In a bowl, add peanut flour, Greek yogurt, milk, peanut butter and protein powder. Mix together until a thick frosting is formed. Spoon frosting into a piping bag. If you don’t have a piping bag, use a gallon ziplock bag with the end cut off.
Once cupcakes are cooled, frost with peanut butter vanilla frosting and enjoy!

Recipe Note
*You can use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt. Mashed banana, pumpkin, or applesauce can even be substituted, but it will lower the protein in each.
**Truvia baking blend is a stevia and sugar blend. It has less sugar than regular white granulated sugar, but still bakes like sugar. It can be found in the baking aisle of most groceries. If you can’t find Truvia, you can use 1/3 cup regular white sugar.
