Ingredients

For the cake

2/3 cup plain flour

60g (2 scoops) True WPI 90 in French Vanilla 

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

3/4 cup almond milk

2 tbsp lemon juice

1/3 cup low fat Greek yogurt

30g lite butter, melted

1 cup powdered stevia

1 tsp vanilla essence

1 cup strawberries, diced

For the icing

1/4 cup low fat cream cheese

2/3 cup icing sugar

1 tbsp lite butter

1 tsp vanilla essence

1 tbsp almond milk

 

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius and line 14 cupcake cups with liners.

  2. Sift the flour into a large bowl then add in the protein powder, baking powder and baking soda and mix together.

  3. Into another bowl, add almond milk, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, melted butter, stevia and vanilla essence. Whisk until combined.

  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and gently fold until almost combined, add in the strawberries and fold a couple more times until evenly distributed.

  5. Pour batter into muffin liners about 2/3 of the way full and bake for 20-25 minutes or until when a skewer inserted comes out clean.

  6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. To make the icing, place the cream cheese and icing sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on high for 2-3 minutes, add in the vanilla essence and almond milk then continue to mix for a further minute. Drizzle the cooled cupcakes with the icing. Enjoy!
