I've been experimenting with different flavors of protein powders in hopes of finding more fun ways to use up some protein powder. (Shakes are getting a little old lol). Anyways, after a really bad first try, the second batch came out delightful!

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Dry ingredients: 1/2 scoop cake batter protein, 1/2 scoop vanilla protein (could easily just use 1 scoop vanilla), 2 T Bisquick mix, 1 T sprinkles, 1/4 t each: salt, baking powder, and baking soda, Splenda (or real sugar) to taste (doesn't take much because the protein powder is pretty sweet by itself)

Wet ingredients: 2 egg whites, 1 t olive oil, 1 T each: skim milk, plain Greek yogurt, applesauce, and 1-2 t vanilla extract.

Combine wet and dry ingredients. Fill mini muffin pan about 2/3rds the way full (I had 17 cupcakes). Bake 7-8 minutes, let cool and enjoy!

Total recipe:
315 calories, 6g fat, 30g carbs, 13g sugar, 3g fiber, 34g protein

Per cupcake:
18.5 calories, .35g fat, 1.75g carbs, .75g sugar, .18g fiber, 2g protein.

Ugh, sorry the pic is so dang big!

    Oh my gosh. Thank you for trying this and then posting it. They look so good. When you say cake batter protein, did you just mean cake batter? or is there a thing called cake batter protein? sorry to sound so dumb. lol

    She's referring to cake batter flavored protein powder. You'd be surprised by some of the flavors they come out with for protein powders. I'm always trying new ones. My most recent are Muscle Milk's Raspberry Cheesecake and Peptide Lemon Cream Pie.

    Lol not dumb :D. It's a protein powder (Isofuel by Muscle and Strength) and the flavor is cake batter. Sounds great in theory, but reality falls a bit short. I'm trying to get rid of it without having to just drink regular shakes with it, so that's why I used half and half here.

    This isn't the brand that I have, but Optimum Nutrition is one of the more popular brands. I've tried it once or twice (it's been a while), but I switched to Dymatize because I can get it cheaper and it tastes just as good (IMO). I might have to try the ON cake batter flavor though :)
