Chocolate Peanut Butter (Protein) Cupcakes

³ Description

this is my "go to" cupcake recipe. chocolatey peanut butter protein cupcakes topped with a mountain of peanut butter frosting. If you looooove frosting as much as I do then you will love these cupcakes which also have a peanut butter (protein) frosting core. And did I mention the "frosting" is only 2 ingredients!?
