Vanilla Protein Cupcakes (Gluten-free)
Description
These Vanilla Protein Cupcakes combine gluten-free baking flour with collagen powder for protein, along with sugar, egg, baking powder, avocado oil, dairy-free milk, and vanilla for flavor and structure. Sprinkles add visual appeal and texture within the batter. After mixing dry and wet ingredients separately and combining, the batter is portioned into lined muffin tins.
Baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes, the cupcakes develop a soft crumb that can be topped with protein buttercream or cream cheese frostings once fully cooled. They come in smaller or standard sizes depending on batter distribution.
The mild vanilla flavor and protein enrichment make these cupcakes a snack or treat with some nutritional support. Using cupcake liners helps with clean removal and presentation.
Substitutions for different sugars are possible, but chocolate protein powder is not recommended as it affects batter consistency. Adding cocoa powder can turn them into chocolate-flavored cupcakes if desired.
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups 1:1 gluten-free baking flour
- ¾ cup collagen powder
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 tbs sugar
- 3 tbs avocado oil
- ¾ cup dairy-free milk
- ½ tb vanilla extract
- ⅛ cup Sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients (except the sprinkles) and mix well.
- Add in the wet ingredients one by one and mix until no clumps remain.
- Line a muffin tray and portion out the batter.
- Bake for 25 minutes and let cool fully before icing.
Notes
- Both ½ cup and 2 tablespoons of sugar are needed to ensure accurate nutritional content.
- Coconut or cane sugar can be used as alternatives in the recipe.
- Avoid chocolate protein powder as it alters batter consistency; instead, add 1-2 teaspoons cocoa powder for chocolate flavor.
- The batter yields about 11 regular cupcakes or 12 smaller ones; use silicone cupcake liners for easier removal.
- Allow cupcakes to cool completely before applying frosting such as protein buttercream or cream cheese frosting.
