Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120g) oat flour (or almond flour for a low-carb option)
- 1/2 cup (60g) High Whey Vanilla Cake
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup (80ml) unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt (non-dairy alternative if needed)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Toppings:
- Greek yogurt frosting (mix Greek yogurt with a bit of honey or vanilla extract)
- Fresh berries or sugar-free sprinkles
Process
- Preheat & Prep:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray. - Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. - Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Add the almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. - Combine Wet & Dry:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Be careful not to overmix. - Fill the Cupcake Liners:
Pour the batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising. - Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Cool:
Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. - Add Toppings:
Once cooled, add your favorite frosting or toppings, like a dollop of Greek yogurt frosting and some fresh berries.
