After my run today I wanted something sweet so I decided to whip up some healthy cupcakes. I wanted to swap out the butter for something with a bit more protein and the Greek Yogurt base turned out so amazing I just kept making more flavors! Greek Yogurt makes them moist, rich and adds 3g of protein while making them (except where I added nuts) completely fat free! You can use the base recipe of yogurt, Truvia, egg whites, flour, soy milk, vanilla & salt then add whatever other fillings, extracts or flavors you like (next on my list is chocolate raspberry). Next time you want a sweet treat give these a try, they’re really easy to make and perfect for whatever your sweet tooth desires. :)

For more healthy cupcake recipes go here!

THESE LOOK SO GOOD. Wow I am going to the store tomorrow for ingredients.

yogi-health: Really want to share this recipe with you all for these vegan Cocoa Pancakes that I made the other day! They were delicious. I put white chocolate peanut butter on them as well. So delicious. Ingredients: 1 cup non-dairy milk 1 tsp apple cider vinegar 1 cup light spelt flour (or whole wheat, all purpose etc) 2 tsp baking powder ¼ cup + 2 tbsp cacao/cocoa powder 1/2 tsp cinnamon pinch of salt 3 tbsp maple syrup (or agave nectar) plus extra for serving 1/4 cup liquid coconut oil (or other oil) 1.5 tsp vanilla extract Directions: Mix the non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl and set aside to curdle, about 5 minutes. Mix the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon and salt together in a large bowl until combined. Add the curdled milk, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla. Mix with a wooden spoon until just combined. It should be a tad loose-seeming. Heat a large, non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Drop ¼ cup measures of the batter into the pan (not too many at a time!). When bubbles start to peak through the surface and you see a bit of light browning/crisping up on the underside, flip the pancakes over carefully, about 1-2 minutes. Repeat for the other side, remove from the pan and set aside on a covered plate to keep warm.
