Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup milk

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-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed butter and sugar, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.

Step 5

To the wet mixture, add the Greek yogurt and mix on low speed until just combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.
