Happy Halloween! After making my all-natural Protein Candy Corn last week, I couldn’t wait to make these Candy Corn Protein Cupcakes!
I used Jamie Eason’s delicious Whey Protein Isolate for these cupcakes. All-natural, and the vanilla tastes like cake batter! Combined with the mild flavor of the carrot juice (orange layer) and turmeric (yellow layer), these cupcakes are delicious!
I also used Jamie’s protein for the Protein Candy Corn recipe, and the protein powder flavor really shines in that recipe. I don’t think you can taste the carrot or turmeric at all. Just cake batter deliciousness!
I am amazed at how bright and colorful these cupcakes are. It’s not Photoshop! It’s nature, in a protein cupcake! A delicious Candy Corn Protein Cupcake. :) Enjoy!
