There's a party going on right here, a celebration to last throughout the year... So bring your protein and your sweet tooth too, and whip up a batch of these high-protein cupcakes ;)
For this recipe, we recommend the 100% Lean Whey by Genetix Nutrition (Vanilla Ice Cream). This protein is low sugar but provides a good amount of sweetness for this cupcake recipe. If you want to add extra sweetness, try maple syrup or rice malt syrup (or stevia for those wanting to keep it low sugar).Â
Celebrate life with these Birthday Cake Protein Cupcakes, designed to bring a bite of fun to your special events (or any day of the year!)
