Ingredients
- 120 grams vanilla protein powder
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters milk
- 60 grams greek yogurt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the vanilla protein powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes, using an electric mixer.
Step 4
Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine the milk and Greek yogurt, mixing until smooth.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk and yogurt mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy the cupcakes as they are, or frost them with your favorite frosting for a sweet finish.
