Protein Cupcakes




Killing two birds in one hit is the way to go! This amazing recipe will not only satisfy your cravings for sweets, but also will help you to pack on muscle. Busy professionals will also benefit from it, as they won't be frowned upon while munching on a few of these babies during a meeting (as opposed to choking on chicken breast with broccoli in front of your colleagues). Here is how to make it:



What you need:



  1. 8 eggwhites
  2. 1 scoop of protein powder. I used a banana flavor and it came out amazing, but you can put whichever flavor you like.
  3. 1tbsp of cocoa powder
  4. 1tsp cinnamon
  5. 1 scoop of fiber. I used Poliquin' Primal Fiber 2.0, but any brand will be fine.
  6. 3-4 packets of stevia



What you do:



  1. Preheat the oven for 350
  2. Mix the eggwhites, protein powder, cinnamon, stevia and the cocoa powder together in a blender.
  3. Pour the mixture in a cupcake dish, filling 3/4 of each socket.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes. The cupcakes should be very fluffy and puff out of their sockets.
  5. Enjoy!
