Now before we jump into the deliciousness please note that this is not a low-calorie treat. It’s flourless but has plenty of peanut butter. Make it one day as a healthier treat option.
Ingredients
4 egg whites
2 egg yolks
3/4 c sugar substitute (stevia baking blend works REALLY well)
1 c pureed sweet potato (please cook it and peel it first)
3/4 c vanilla protein powder
1/2 c peanut butter
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
Preheat oven to 350
Whip egg whites until stiff and set aside
Whip sweet potato, sugar substitute and egg yolks until combined, add peanut butter, protein then cinnamon and baking soda and powder. Fold in the egg whites (this is what will make the cake fluffy so take your time).
Place in muffin or other fun tins and bake for 20-25 minutes.
While they are baking whip up this frosting, add all ingredients and stir until combined:
1 c peanut butter
1/4 c sugar substitute
1/4 c brewed coffee (add more if you’d like a more runny frosting)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 scoop vanilla protein
Once your cakes are done, frost them up and thank us later.

These looks delish and ammmmmazing! How many servings or muffins does this recipe make?
Sarah it makes 6 jumbo muffins
or 12 regular (you’ll have left over frosting)
looks great! hat is the nutritional value/ breakdown per serving?
gah!! thanks for reminding us! we need to figure that out!
According to Livestrong, the breakdown for the 12 cupcakes without icing would be roughly (depending on the brands of protein powder & peanut butter used.. I use met-rx and smuckers natural creamy)
150 cals
6g fat
209g sodium
7.9g carbs
3.5g sugar
1.3g fiber
14.6g protein
which looks like plenty for me.. if you add the icing I’d do so sparingly. Stats for the icing alone (divided by 12) are:
142 calories
10.6g fat
65.1g sodium
4.3g carbs
.75g sugar
1.4g fiber
6.7 g protein
like I said, I wouldn’t likely use that entire amount anyway so I didn’t add it to the cupcake stats. I’d lightly smear it on top and save the rest as protein packed apple dip or something!! yum!
Can’t wait to make these now!
thanks for doing this!!
OMG! haha I made these today and only had sweet n Low…holy yuckiness. They taste like peanutbutter sweet n low cakes. Going to have to remake them th right way with stevia.
