² Ingredients

•  1 serving (serving = 1 rounded scoop) Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey - French Vanilla Creme
•  1 serving (serving = 1/4 cup) Bob's Red Mill Almond Meal Flour
•  2 serving (serving = 2 tbsp) Bob's Red Mill Organic High Fiber Coconut Flour
•  1 tsp Baking Powder (Sodium Aluminum Sulfate, Double Acting)
•  2 large Egg
•  1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
•  1/4 serving (serving = 1 cup) Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Milk
•  1 serving (serving = 1/2 cup) Country Life Apple Sauce
•  1/4 tsp Salt
•  2 serving (serving = 1 packet) Sugar in the Raw Stevia Extract in the Raw

q Directions

Preheat oven to 175c. Line a muffin tin with 6 cupcake liners. Whisk together eggs, vanilla, applesauce and almond milk. Set mixture aside. In a medium bowl, sift together coconut flour, almond meal, protein powder, baking powder, sweetener and salt and mix well. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Let batter rest for 10 minutes then fill cupcake liners. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

When cupcakes have cooled completely, fit a piping bag with a large rounded tip and fill with strawberry jam. Insert tip halfway into cupcake and gently squeeze piping bag to fill centres. To make the frosting, combine peanut flour, salt and sweetener. Add almond milk and mix well. You should end up with a thick frosting-like consistency - if it’s too thin, add more peanut flour or if it’s too thick to frost, add a little almond milk. Feel free to adjust flavours to taste. Fit a piping bag with a large star tip and pipe frosting onto cupcakes. Serve immediately, or store cupcakes in fridge as the frosting will not hold in warmer temperatures.
