INGREDIENTS:
- 2/3 cup Chocolate Nutralean
- 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 2 cups granular stevia
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (melted) or avocado oil
- 1/2 cup unsweetened milk(coconut, soy or almond)
- 1/2 cup water
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat over to 350.
- Mix dry ingredients together.
- In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients and then combine.
- Spray pan with coconut oil and fill cupcake tin 2/3 full, placing a tsp of jam in the center.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees. Ice with topping once cooled.
Ingredients for topping:
- 1/2 cup sugar-free softened peanut butter (I use soy-nut or sunflower butter, as we are nut-free)
- 1/3 cup powdered Swerve or stevia sweetener
- 1 scoop Vanilla or Natural Nutralean
- 1/4 cup butter softened (but not melted).
Direction for topping:
Cream the softened butter and add the sweetener until smooth. Add in the scoop of Nutralean a bit a time, and mix until smooth. Then mix together with the softened peanut butter (or soy-nut or sunflower butter) until smooth. If it's too thick, add 1-2 tsp of water until you reach the desired consistency. Makes 1 & 1/2 cups of frosting.
For the filling: Use any sugar-free jam of choice!
