I had been seeing Leaner Creamer, the only all-natural powder coffee creamer that promotes weight loss of appetite suppression, all over social media so I decided to order a container in hopes that it would do what it promised. I posted a picture of the container with my coffee on my instagram (https://instagram.com/p/65HG30n4y7/?taken-by=newsforchews) and the brand commented asking if I could come up with a cupcake recipe. So, ask and you shall receive! Here is today’s Cookies ‘n (Leaner) Creamer Cupcakes.
And yes I do actually think the product suppressed my appetite a little!
For the cupcakes:
3 cups cake flour
1 TBSP baking powder
1/2 TSP salt
16 TBSP unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
1/4 Cup Leaner Creamer (optional)
1/4 Cup Greek Yogurt
5 large eggs, at room temperature
1 TBSP vanilla extract
20 Oreo cookies (halves, with cream filling attached)
For the frosting:
1 Cup butter
4 Cups powdered sugar
2 TBSP Leaner Creamer
6 TBSP Oreo cookies, finely crushed
Ingredients
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners
Twist Oreos in half and set aside the extra cookies for crushing for the frosting
Spray cupcake liners with cooking spray
Place an Oreo in each cupcake liner, cream-side up
Filling the cupcake liners
Cream butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl
Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition
Combine vanilla and yogurt
Alternately add the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients to the batter, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients
Fill lined cupcake tins with batter
Ready to go in the oven
Bake for 15-18 minutes, until tooth pick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool 10 minutes in pan before transferring to a cooking rack
Cooling before adding the frosting
For the frosting, cream the butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes
Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the powdered sugar, about ½ cup at a time, until thoroughly mixed
Stir in Leaner Creamer until combined
Add Oreo crumbs and mix well
Frosting!
