Quest Bar Chocolate Brownie Cupcakes
Once I saw the Quest Bar Molten Cupcakes recipe on Mackenzie's Clean Eats, I knew I had to try it. It looked awesome and it seemed ridiculously simple to make. Both of those qualities are exactly what I want when I cook!
Mackenzie dressed her cupcakes up a bit with cookie butter and a pudding topping. Mine had little less frills (a little easier to pack into my gym bag too) and I also used a different filling. But the result was still pretty awesome.
This recipe is quite possibly the easiest protein baking recipe on the planet, with the possible exceptions being my 10 min Chocolate Protein Pudding or my No-Bake Chocolate Banana Protein Brownies. But let me put it to you this way: If you can figure out how to open the oven door then you can make this recipe. It's basically just a baked Quest protein bar, wrapped around some gooey goodness and molded into the shape of a cupcake.
Following Mackenzie's instructions, I started off with a Chocolate Brownie Quest Bar. I then put it in the microwave for about 15seconds to soften it up and I molded half of it to the inside of a cupcake tray slot that had a metal cupcake wrapper inside of it. Next, I put 1tbsp of Nutella (mmm... Nutella) on top and closed the top of the cupcake with the remaining cupcake batter. Finally, I stuck the tray in the oven at 350-degrees F for 10min. That's it!
It is important to note (as Mackenzie said) that you should let the cupcakes cool before eating. Molten Nutella leaves a nasty mouth burn [ouch!]. But you should you decide to store some of the cupcakes for a later time then you should also pop them in microwave for about 30seconds before eating. Otherwise, you will have a Nutella filled brick.
It should also be noted that I think this kind of recipe will work with any flavor Quest bar. So, you could do a cream cheese filling inside a cheesecake Quest bar. Or you could do a butter cream filling inside a cookies and cream Quest bar. The possibilities are literally limitless [and likely very delicious]!
