- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Mix whole-wheat flour, protein powder, Stevia, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl. In another bowl, mix almond milk, Greek yogurt, pumpkin, vanilla extract, and butter extract.
- Heat coconut oil in a small bowl until melted. Add coconut oil to wet ingredients and mix.
- Slowly add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Mix slowly while pouring in wet ingredients.
- Line a muffin tin with 8 cupcake liners. Spoon batter evenly into each.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean. These will dry out quickly if overbaked.
- Make frosting by mixing cream cheese and Greek yogurt.
- Add Stevia and brown sugar blend, protein powder, and coconut flour. Mix very well so that there are no clumps of flour or protein powder. Add sugar-free maple syrup and mix until smooth.
- Let cupcakes completely cool for about 30 minutes, then frost each cupcake.
- Demolish!
- Note: Greek yogurt and canned pumpkin can be subbed for all Greek yogurt or all pumpkin. Also, you could sub for an equal amount of applesauce or mashed banana, but the taste might be slightly different. If you do not have butter extract, you can just use more vanilla extract.
