Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed butter and sugar, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
To the wet mixture, add the Greek yogurt and mix on low speed until just combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.
