My name is Kevin. My life changed when I realized that healthy living is truly a lifelong journey, mainly won by having a well-balanced diet and enjoying adequate exercise. By experimenting in the kitchen and openly sharing my meals, I learned that healthy eating is hardly boring and that by making a few adjustments, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my personal fitness goals. Our bodies are built in the kitchen and sculpted in the gym.

We all crave something sweet now and then. However, even though it is quite tempting to resort to store-bought unhealthy stuff that is full of processed sugars and other chemicals, there are better healthy dessert options. One of those options is these banana brown rice protein cupcakes. This dessert recipe is a great way to satisfy that craving.
For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients. One scoop of Muscle Meds chocolate protein, two-thirds of a cup of rice flour, one-fourth of a cup of almond flour, half a teaspoon of baking powder, one teaspoon of baking soda, one tablespoon of almond extract, and three packets of Stevia. Also, you will need two eggs, one whole egg and for the other one, you will only need the egg white. You will also need one ripe banana, two tablespoons of cocoa powder, one-fourth of a cup of Greek yogurt, and lastly, two tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk.

When it comes to icing, you will need one scoop of chocolate protein, six tablespoons of fat-free cool whip, four ounces of cream cheese with reduced fat, and optionally, one packet of Stevia.
To prepare these protein cupcakes, begin by mixing all of the ingredients together. Make sure that the mixture is smooth. Next, take a muffin pan and pour in the cupcake batter, here either use some cooking spray or cupcake doilies so they do not stick. Bake these in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about twelve minutes.
For the icing, mix together the ingredients until it becomes smooth and fluffy.

These protein muffins are super easy to make and serve as an amazing alternative to unhealthy sweets. This is one of the protein recipes that you should definitely try.
