October is no grocery shopping month here. We are using what we have in the freezer, pantry, and fridge. When I got a craving for chocolate cupcakes and found out we had no cocoa powder, I started racking my brain. I pulled this out of the beverage cupboard skeptical if I could make it work. I hadn’t done baking before with protein powder, but my craving said “it’s worth a shot.”
The fact that I’m typing up this recipe means they came out absolutely FANTASTIC. I topped with All Day I Dream About Food’s Swiss Meringue Butter Cream Frosting with just a slight bit of orange food coloring for some October fun.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 Cup softened Butter (one stick)
- 1/3 Cup Monk Fruit Sweetener Blend
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Tbsp Vanilla
- 1 Scoop Konscious Keto Slim Chocolate Shake Mix (*see note below*)
- 1/8 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 Cup Almond Flour
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350º F
- Mix butter and sweetener together.
- Add Eggs in one at a time until incorporated.
- Add vanilla.
- Stir in the rest of the dry ingredients.
- Scoop into 12 lined muffin cups (I love using the re-useable cup liners) and bake for 15-18 mins (until a toothpick comes out clean from center).
- Top with Frosting.
