Total:
- For muffins: Preheat your oven to 350 F (180 C).
- Add all ingredients into a mixing bowl and, using a spoon, combine into a smooth cake batter.
- Equally divide the mixture between 10 muffin cases and bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through. Simple and delicious!
- For frosting: In a small mixing bowl, combine the casein and the yogurt.
- Slowly add in the milk until you reach your desired frosting consistency.
- Once the cupcakes have completely cooled (be patient!), you can pop the frosting on with a spoon. If you're feeling fancy, you can use a piping bag and nozzle!
- Tip: Go wild with your toppings—this is where you can get creative! I added chia seeds and chopped almonds for an extra crunch. You could use dark chocolate chips, coconut flakes, or even fresh fruit. Get creative and add your own twist!
