Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 units large eggs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and vanilla protein powder. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well combined.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until the batter comes together; do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Enjoy your high-protein chocolate cupcakes as a nutritious treat!
