RECIPE: GF + SUGAR FREE PROTEINY CHOCOLATE PEANUT CUPCAKES

I wasn't sure what to call this recipe, as each component seems important enough to be in the title!

These cupcakes are:

• Free from refined sugar
• Gluten free
• A boost of protein* at 9g per cake
• Delicious

I can't claim that this idea is my own, as I adapted it from a recipe by 'blondehealth' on Instagram. Thought it was too good not to share!

Ingredients

1/2 cup chocolate protein powder

1/2 cup gluten free flour

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1 tsp baking powder

170g 0% Total Greek yoghurt

1 egg

1 egg white

1/4 cup almond milk

1/3 cup powdered stevia

Whole Earth peanut butter

Directions

1. Mix all ingredients except the peanut butter thoroughly in a large bowl;
2. Divide the mixture between 9 cupcake cases;
3. Take 1/2 a tsp of peanut butter in each case and push it down to submerge it;
4. Bake in a 180 degree oven for around 10-15 minutes;

They're best eaten fresh from the oven or you can microwave them to remelt the peanut butter.

* Studies are showing that women especially are not getting enough protein in their diets - might have a rant about this later!
