After a good ride this morning, I really wanted to make a delicious dessert this afternoon. I haven’t made cupcakes in a little while so I figured it was time to make some again. I went with chocolate chip protein cupcakes topped with a creamy chocolate protein icing.

The cupcakes are moist and fluffy just as a good cupcake should be. It can be hard to keep protein baked goods moist because of the protein powder. I like to use things such as Greek yogurt, pumpkin, applesauce, or mashed banana to help keep it from drying out. I also added some coconut oil in these which helped keep them moist.

The best part about these cupcakes, in my opinion, has got to be the frosting. It is definitely one of the better frostings that I have made. It is so creamy and chocolatey. The best part is that there is no sugar in it at all. It is vanilla Greek yogurt, chocolate combat protein powder, reduced fat cream cheese, cocoa powder, and chocolate pudding mix.

The combo of chocolate chip cupcakes topped with the creamy chocolate protein frosting was one of my favorite cupcakes I have ever made!
