RECIPE: Chocolate cupcakes!

I've done it! Done what you say? I've come up with a chocolate cupcake recipe that includes all of my favourite ingredients. Let me start off by saying these cupcakes contain no added sugars and can easily be made gluten free with 1 small tweak to the recipe. They are high in protein and make a great "on the go snack/post workout snack".

All you need for this quick, easy and simple recipe is the following;

75g Greek yogurt (I use TotalGreek as they are simply THE best authentic Greek yoghurt around!)

60g Ground oats (gluten free oats/ground almonds will make this recipe gluten free)

50g Whey protein (I ALWAYS use MyProtein's True whey (cookies and cream flavour))

50g Melted dark chocolate (I use Green and Blacks dark chocolate (85% cocoa))

2 Eggs

1 Large sized banana (mashed)

1 tbsp Coconut oil (I use Lucy Bee coconut oil because it's packed full of healthy fats & tastes great!)

1 tsp Nutmeg or cinnamon (ground)

1 tsp Baking powder

Step 1: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl.

 

 Step 2: Place into cupcake cases.

Step 3: Place in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.

Step 4: Leave to cool on a cooling rack

Step 5: Decorate as you please. I mixed whey protein with Greek yogurt to create a high protein frosting.

... and there you have it. My high protein cupcake. This recipe makes 10 cupcakes

As you can see it is a well balanced snack. You can increase protein intake by adding the protein frosting. Hope you all try this recipe out and send me pictures on how they went!
