Cookies and Cream Protein Cupcakes

I can't believe I almost forgot to post my new creation I made this morning! I present to you Cookies and Cream Protein Cupcakes/Muffins in both regular and pumpkin spice Oreo flavors :D

I may or may have not had these for breakfast...don't judge me!
Can you blame me? Look how yummy these look!
Recipe (makes two cupcakes, one of each flavor):

  • 1/4 cup (61 g) pumpkin puree, divided
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 scoop (10 g ) chocolate protein
  • 1/2 tbs (2.5 g) cocoa powder
  • 1/2 scoop (21 g) vanilla protein, divided
  • pumpkin pie spice
  • baking powder
  • 2 tbs (35 g) greek yogurt
  • sweetener to taste
  • 2 oreos, 1 regular and 1 pumpkin spice
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line muffin pan with two muffin liners.
  2. For the chocolate cupcake combine half of the pumpkin puree, one egg white, the chocolate protein, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sweetener to taste. Fill one muffin liner with this mixture.
  3. For the pumpkin cupcake combine the remaining pumpkin puree, egg white, half the vanilla protein, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and sweetener to taste. Fill the second muffin liner with this mixture.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. I ended up turning up the oven to 400 F for the last five minutes or so.
  5. Top each cupcake with the remaining vanilla protein mixed with water drizzled over top. Top either cake with greek yogurt (I chose to top the pumpkin cake). Finish with oreo cookies. Enjoy!
