Ingredients
3 scoops vanilla whey protein powder (35g per scoop)
1⁄2 cup gluten free flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
10 grams peanut butter powder
1⁄2 cup non-fat greek yogurt
1⁄4 cup no salt butter
1 large egg
3⁄4 cups vanilla cashew milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 mini Reese’s Pieces
2 ounces fat free cream cheese
1⁄4 cup fat free vanilla greek yogurt
1⁄4 cup Swerve zero calorie sweetener

5 grams peanut butter powder
Reeses’ Pieces for topping
Steps
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Gradually add the milk, yogurt, butter, and egg to the dry mixture, stirring until smooth.
- Fold the sprinkles into the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly, filling each cupcake liner 3/4 full. The batter will rise as it bakes.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean. Be careful not to overcook, as protein-enriched foods can become dry if overcooked.
- Remove the cupcakes from the oven, place on a cooling rack, and let cool.
- While your cupcakes are cooling, combine all the frosting ingredients in a bowl.
- You can either spread the frosting onto the cupcakes with a knife or use a piping bag or resealable plastic bag with a corner cut off for more precision.
- If you’re not planning to eat all the cupcakes immediately, it’s best to leave them unfrosted and store the frosting separately in the refrigerator.
