Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (I use Trutein)
  • 3/4 cups cacao powder (I use HERSHEY'S dark cacao)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 Large whole egg
  • 2 tablespoons egg whites

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350° F and use non stick spray on 2 cupcake pans (will make 18 cupcakes).
Step 2
Place rolled oats in a food processor and grind until it resembles a course meal. Depending on your oats, it will still have some texture which is perfectly fine.
Step 3
Add in remaining dry ingredients and pulse a few times. Add all other ingredients and pulse until well combined.
Step 4
Divide batter into cupcake pans (1/4 cup per cupcake).
Step 5
Bake for 15-18 minutes until toothpick comes out clean and tops of muffins slightly bounce back to the touch.
Step 6
While cupcakes are cooling, prepare the cookie dough and then top with heaping 1 tablespoon of the mixture.
