Yellow Cupcakes
You’ll wish every day was your birthday once you bite into this low protein cupcake. Double the recipe to make a dozen. Cupcakes can be stored in the freezer to have a sweet treat ready at a moment’s notice.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup (56 g) butter
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup + 1 Tbsp (108 g) Loprofin Baking Mix
- 1 tsp egg replacer*, see notes for alternative
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 scoops (10 g) Milupa LP-Drink, prepared (mixed with 3.4 fl oz of water)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 drop yellow food coloring
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Place 6 cupcake liners in muffin tin.
- Cream together butter and sugar with an electric mixer.
- Add the baking mix, egg replacer and baking powder into the creamed mixture and blend together.
- Gradually mix in prepared LP-Drink, vanilla extract, and yellow food coloring until smooth.
- Divide batter evenly into cupcake liners. Bake 10-15 minutes or until cupcakes are slightly firm to the touch or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
Notes
Optional: Decorate with homemade buttercream frosting.
If you like bananas, use ½ of a mashed banana instead of the egg replacer. This will change the flavor to taste like a banana bread cupcake – and they are delicious! Be sure to adjust the nutrient information to reflect this change.
