Time 15m

Yield 2 cupcakes, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons 100% whey protein cocoa powder (1 scoop)
1 large egg white
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon unswetened cocoa powder
1/2-1 teaspoon Splenda sugar substitute (2-3 packets)
1/8 cup coffee (just says coffee)
1 tablespoon water
1 dash cinnamon
1 dash salt
1 tablespoon natural-style peanut butter
1 tablespoon sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix
1/2 teaspoon milk
1/4 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon Splenda sugar substitute (1 packet)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients for cucakes besides the peanut butter, and refrigerate for 5 minutes. Melt the peanut butter in the microwave until runny, mix into chilled cupcake batter. Preheat oven to 450.
  • In a normal-size cupcake pan, spray 2 of the cups with cooking spray until coated. Ladle equally into 2 of the cups until they are filled a little bit above the halfway point. This doesn't need to be perfect just make sure they won't overflow.
  • Bake until the mixture has risen, but not entirely cooked. Test this by poking with a butter knife. If it comes out with the mix on it, your good to go. At this point, reduce the heat to 300, and bake until a butterknife comes out clean and the tops come out baked.
  • Remove the cupcake tray from the oven and let stand for 1 minute, and remove with a small spatula. Top with frosting if desired. If making froting mix all ingredients together and place in freezer and chill until the frosting firms up a little bit.
  • Tip: Replace chocolate protein powder with vanilla protein powder, the chocolate pudding with lemon pudding, and remove the cinnamon. Fill with fresh fruits or light dessert creams. Add a tablespoon of ground oats for each cupcake (they will be more filling). Add a hint of mint extract, coconut milk, or natural mashed pumpkin for extra delight.
