I love cinnamon it has a heap of health benefits such as regulating blood sugars, helping to reduce inflammation and boost your metabolism.
Yes, I used baby food in this recipe. But wait! Before you run off scared, let me explain myself. I went to buy applesauce but every brand had added sugar. I had a brainwave and cautiously approached the baby food aisle and then I spotted this beauty! It was only 99p for 4 pots at Sainsburys and when you look at the ingredients, you will understand why I chose it:
Ingredients: 1 small apple (65%), 1/4 pear (35%), Vitamin C
You can of course substitute this for apple sauce if you are too scared to be eating baby food….
Cupcake Ingredients:
• 64g (2 Scoops) x Icon Nutrition's Cinnamon Vanilla Swirl Protein
• 100g x Ground Oats
• 2 x Egg Whites (66ml)
• 100ml x Unsweetened Almond Milk
• 100g (1 Pot) x Apple + Pear 100% Fruit Pot (or Apple Sauce)
• 1tsp x Baking Powder
• 1tsp x Cinnamon
Frosting Ingredients:
• 100g x Liberté Greek Yoghurt
• 16g (1/2 Scoop) x Icon Nutrition's Cinnamon Vanilla Swirl Protein
Nutrition Info
• 1 Cupcake (With Frosting)
135kcals,
14.8g Protein,
11.1g Carbs,
2.5g Fat
• 1Cupcake (without frosting) 116kcals, 11.1g Protein, 10.4g Carbs and 2.4g Fat.
Instructions
1.
Pre-heat your oven to gas mark 3 (170C)
2. Put all the cupcake ingredients in a food processor and blend until combined. The batter should be smooth but fairly runny.
3.
Divide your mixture into 6 muffin moulds and place on a baking tray in the centre of your oven for 10-12 minutes. If they still look a little wet, leave them on the side for a few minutes to see if they cook through on residual heat, if not pop them back in for another minute, then leave to cool.
4.
Make up your protein frosting by mixing your greek yoghurt and half a scoop of protein until you have a nice thick consistency.
5. Put the frosting in a piping bag (if you don’t one, just snip the corner off a sandwich bag!). Pipe on your frosting and sprinkle with cinnamon!
P.s As the frosting is with fresh yoghurt, make sure to store them in the fridge (if they manage to last that long).
Student Tips
Mitch's vanilla swirl protein came from http://www.iconnutrition.co.uk
Why not experiment with adding whichever protein flavour you have at home?
Don't have protein powder? Add vanilla essence to flavour instead! However this will obviously alter the protein quantity for the recipe.
