Directions:
1.) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all of the dry ingredients in one bowl (save a few blueberries for later) and all of the wet ingredients in another to avoid clumping.
2.) Mix all of the dry protein filling ingredients together in a bowl. Add in 10ml of cold water, mix, add in the greek yogurt, and mix some more. Make sure everything is combined super well. You want a smooth texture.
3.) Take 6 cupcake molds (https://amzn.to/2Cyj6rz) and fill each one up halfway with batter. Add a scoop of filling, then cover with more batter. Repeat this process until all of the molds are filled. Place them in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
4.) While the cupcakes are baking, mix all of the dry chocolate frosting ingredients in a bowl. Add in 20ml of cold water, mix some more, then mix in the greek yogurt until you get a super smooth texture. Add in 10-20ml of water if need be. Repeat this process to make the protein icing.
5.) When the cupcakes are done, place them on a cooling rack to cool to room temperature. Add your frosting and icing on top, take a bite, and enjoy!
