Ingredients
  

  • 216 g Pillsbury Funfetti Cake Mix approx. 1/2 box
  • 62 g PE Science Cake Pop Protein Powder 2 scoops
  • 150 g Whole Eggs approx. 3 large eggs
  • 285 g Non-fat Greek Yogurt approx. 1.25 cups
  • 2 g Baking Powder 1/2 tsp

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line muffin tins for 16 cupcakes with liners or spray with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: cake mix, protein powder, and baking powder.
  3. Add the eggs and Greek yogurt to the dry mixture and stir with a silicone spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the extra rainbow sprinkles until evenly distributed.
  5. Scoop the batter evenly into the 16 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Tip: Always use a Whey/Casein blend protein powder for baking to ensure the cupcakes remain moist and structured. 100% whey protein will result in a rubbery texture. This batch makes 16 cupcakes.
