    Hmmmm ... how would it turn out with vanilla protein powder, I wonder?

    I tried this with Vanilla powder and put a little extra cocoa powder in, first time I have made this though so cannot compare to using chocolate protein powder. I found this very very dry, was thinking using the whole egg would make it moist but not sure if you could do this? I also used my homemade apple sauce which may not be as moist as other apple sauces.

    You definitely needed a topping on it to help it go down.

    BUT good for low calorie cupcake type treat. :-)

    I have found they are a little dry - I haven't figured out how to make them more moist. The reason why they probably taste sooo good to me is I am allergic to almost everything (think gluten, dairy, and corn). Most tasty treats have these three things in them, so when I come across to something with out it, I don't care what it tastes like! hahaha

    Let me know if you come up with a solution for the dryness - it's usually the dairy (sour cream or butter) that makes cupcakes dense, but I can't have either of those ingredients!

    I made them last night, they were good but a bit dry.
    I am gonna try to make them again, maybe with a bit more applesauce?? If that doesnt work then maybe I'll try adding some milk. I will let you know if that works!

    No, whey is milk.

    For everyone who has found these to be a bit dry, add about 1/2 tablespoon more applesauce. It makes a world of difference!
  • Bump for the recipe

    It works with any flavor really ... I've done vanilla so far, though the texture is wonky because I use egg protein rather than whey.
