 The Ultimate Vanilla Protein Cupcake (No sugar added) You'll find these cupcakes (along with my other favorite "on the go snacks") in my Ultimate Energy Meal Guide , which is now available! Aside from the sprinkle of powdered sugar (optional), there is NO SUGAR added in my cupcake recipe. Instead of sugar, I used 1/4 cup pitted dates, and they add the perfect sweetness + added vitamins & minerals. Also, made with almond/oat/coconut flour (gluten free). No processed sugar, filled with protein & nutrients and so yummy. I'll give credit to this recipe. My recipe is inspired by this version, but I made some tweaks to add even more protein & nutrients. I purchase most of my ingredients at Trader Joes.

Super dark choc chunk HEALTH-filled cookies I got my baking on this weekend, and I'm really loving these. Made with almond/oat/coconut flour (gluten free). No processed sugar, filled with nutrients & fiber, and so yummy. I'll give credit to this recipe, which is a Keto/Paleo/Vegan Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookie. My recipe is inspired by this version, but I made some tweaks to add more protein, and nix some of the fat content. I purchased most of my ingredients at Trader Joes.
