Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Add dry ingredients into a bowl and mix. Then take wet ingredients and add to a separate bowl and mix. Combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
- Spray cupcake mold with non-stick spray and add batter. Bake for 12-18 minutes. When you see cracking in the tops of the cupcakes and a golden color, you’ll know they’re ready.
- Take them out and let cool at room temperature on a cooling rack. Make up your protein frosting by adding ingredients in a bowl and mix until smooth. Add to fridge to cool.
- Now make up your protein icing by combining all three ingredients and mixing. Then add 5-10ml of cold water and mix. Be careful not to add too much water.
- Once all is ready, add frosting to cupcakes and top with chocolate curls or topping of your choice. Then add your protein icing into a small ziplock bag, cut a piece of the corner of the bag to swirl on top of the cupcakes. Enjoy!
