Filling:
Protein Frosting:
Preheat oven to 350°F, line 10 cups of a muffin pan with cupcake lines, and lightly spray insides with cooking spray (or use non-stick pan).
In a bowl, whisk flour, protein powders, coconut flour and baking soda.
In a large bowl, whisk together hot water, applesauce, lemon juice, melted butter.
Add dry mix to wet, and gently fold until just combined.
DO NOT OVER-MIX or protein powder will make the cake dense.
Add rainbow sprinkles and fold to combine.
Divide batter into cupcake cavities;
Bake for 13-15 minutes.
Don’t let the batter sit out.
A tester inserted into the center should come out clean and center of cake springy to touch.
Let cool in pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
Filling:
Let cupcakes cool completely.
Use a tsp measure to make a hollow cavity at the top of the cupcakes (go about half way deep).
Fill ½ tsp rainbow sprinkles into cupcake hollows, then cover with small piece of cupcake top (which was removed).
Protein Frosting:
In a bowl, combine Greek Yogurt, protein powder and cashew butter and mix until smooth.
Continue to mix; Frosting will come together. Add milk if needed to thin.
Pipe or scoop out and spread frosting on top of cupcakes.
Top with more sprinkles.
