Salted Caramel Chocolate Protein Cupcakes
OMG do you love sweets just as much as I do? People ask me what I like to drink and I say, “I don’t but I make up for it in sweets!” I am always trying to find healthier alternatives to satisfy my sweet tooth. I shared this one on the Instagram stories last week and ya’ll wanted the deets so here you go! Im so glad I found this idea up on Bree Argetsinger AKA The Betty Rocker’s blog. I adapted her chocolate protein muffin recipe and turned it into a cupcake! She is awesome for all things fitness and nutrition. Check her out!
Ingredients
- 1 Can Black Beans
- 5 Eggs
- 1 Tablespoon of coconut flavoring (or vanilla)
- 1/2 tea sea salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tea baking soda
- 5 TBLS Coconut Butter or Coconut Oil
- 1/2 cup of Maple Syrup or Date Nectar
- 1/4 Cup of Chocolate Protein Powder or Coconut Chocolate
- 2 TLB Cacao or Cocoa Powder
- Unsweetened Coconut
- Salted Caramel JEM Nut Butter
- Cacao Nibs
Instructions
- Blend all the beans, eggs, coconut/vanilla flavoring, sea salt, baking powder, soda, cocnonut oil maple syrup, protein powder and Cacao powder in a blender really well. and pour in cupcake/muffin baking pan.
- Bake on 350 for 20 minutes.
- Let cool and frost with JEM Nut Butter and top with unsweetened coconut and cacoa nibs.
This makes one dozen so feel free to double the recipe if you need more than 12. These are very filling thanks to the beans and protein powder. I have used both coconut chocolate and chocolate protein and they have turned out great.
The “frosting” is Salted Caramel JEM Nut Butter and I LOVE these for that sweet tooth craving. All of their flavors are amazing!
Share this goodness with a friend who you love to share a cupcake with!
Until next time,
