YIELDS: 6 servings

– 90g chocolate whey

*Note: When baking with protein powder, we recommend staying away from pure isolate powder because it can create a cardboard texture. Whey/Casein blends usually work best for baking — our favorite is the Devotion Nutrition brand. If you are interested in trying Devotion Nutrition, use “AVATAR” at checkout and save 10%.

Using another brand of protein powder may result in slightly different macros. Click here to get expert tips on baking with other types of protein powder in our free online guide.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a mixing bowl, melt cashew butter and add mashed bananas. Let cool, add egg, and mix.
3. Mix in all other ingredients thoroughly except for walnuts and marshmallows. Add water until cake batter consistency is reached.
   
4. Spray cupcake pan with nonstick cooking spray and fill cupcakes.
   
5. Top with walnuts and marshmallows.
   
6. Bake for 10-15 minutes until you can stick a toothpick in and it comes out clean. You can also leave the center of the cupcake slightly gooey! Enjoy!
