Cupcake Ingredients
- 3/4 cup of unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 serving Protein Milkshake
- 1 1/4 cup of sugar
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup of canned coconut milk (full fat is best)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups of flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 cup of sweetened desiccated coconut
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
-
Beat butter and sugar:
Beat the butter until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy again, another 3 minutes, scraping down the sides halfway through to ensure even mixing.
-
Beat in eggs, one at a time:
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating for 30 seconds each. Be sure to scrape down the sides after each egg to ensure even mixing.
-
Combine dry ingredients:
Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.
-
Combine coconut milk and vanilla:
Stir together 1 cup of a well shaken can of coconut milk and a teaspoon of vanilla in a separate bowl.
-
Alternating dry ingredients and coconut milk mixture, add to butter sugar mixture, fold in coconut:
Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients to the butter sugar mixture and mix, then add 1/2 of the coconut milk mixture.
Fold in the sweetened desiccated coconut.
-
Fill cupcake liners!
Place cupcake liner papers into muffin tins. Scoop the batter into the cupcake papers about one half to three-quarters of the way full.
-
Bake:
Bake at 350°F for 18-22 minutes, rotating the pan after the first 15 minutes to ensure even baking.
- Cupcakes are done once lightly brown on top! I added a little bit of coconut flakes to the top of the Coconut Cupcakes!
