Rich Chocolate Protein Cupcake

Submitted by: PHILLYGIRL2012
 Introduction

This is a healthier version of a chocolaty cupcake made with protein powder for additional protein hit. 

Minutes to Prepare: 30

Minutes to Cook: 14

Number of Servings: 12

Ingredients

1 cup whole-grain oat flour
(I ground oatmeal in a blender to make this)
(use 1.5 cups if not using protein powder)
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (1 cup if not using chocolate protein powder)
1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
(I used 1cup 2%milk + 1tbs lemon juice. Let stand 5 minutes)
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 large egg whites
1.5 cups unpacked brown sugar (either light or dark. I used a mix of both.)
1 cup fat-free vanilla yogurt, sweetened
(I used Greek 2% plain which adds to the fat count

Guess you could say the cupcakes baked up nicely!  And for another new--peanut butter frosting--delish! 

I used this product ,to add more protein, to the frosting mixture.  It works really well.  BH daughter likes to add this to plain yogurt--2 Tbsp. to 1 Tbsp. water, stir and you have it!  Brown headed girl enjoyed her birthday treat!

Lines ///////\\\\\\\\\

The notion of line or straight line was introduced by ancient mathematicians to represent straight objects with negligible width and depth. Lines are an idealization of such objects. Until the seventeenth century, lines were defined like this: "The line is the first species of quantity, which has only one dimension, namely length, without any width nor depth, and is nothing else than the flow or run of the point which […] will leave from its imaginary moving some vestige in length, exempt of any width. […] The straight line is that which is equally extended between its points....................................This according to Wikipedia..........................................did you get that!?

Morning

GOOD MORNING!

Morning is such a wonderful time of the day--that is IF you are a morning person!

So from me, who is a morning person, let's begin our day....................

 

 

From our kitchen window, I see the sun breaking through the screen and shades as I prepare my coffee...........ahh, a good start to the day!

And our day begins with our coffee and the computer--time to check the world events and make contacts with those in far off places

As I sip my coffee and work on the PC, I can look out the back slider and across the deck to listen and watch the kiddos as they line up, waiting for that school bell to ring...........................

and then

All

is

Quiet again!
