Sweet Milk Cupcakes
A high-protein riff on Mexican pan de elote-style sweet milk cakes, these cupcakes fold whey protein and Greek yogurt into a cinnamon-scented batter soaked in a light condensed milk glaze, echoing the soaked-milk character of a tres leches without the heavy cream base.

Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line 2 holes of a 6-hole muffin tin with paper cases, half-filling the remaining holes with water.
2
Whisk the all-purpose flour, whey protein isolate, baking powder and cinnamon together in a bowl and set aside.
3
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and egg white with a hand mixer for about 1 minute until pale and slightly foamy.
4
Add the Greek yogurt, condensed milk, skim milk, evaporated milk and vanilla extract to the eggs and whisk until smooth.
5
Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients in two additions, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain.
6
Divide the batter evenly between the 2 lined holes, filling each about two-thirds full.
7
Bake for 16-18 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean and the tops spring back when pressed.
8
Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack and brush the warm tops with the extra warmed condensed milk while they are still hot.
9
Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving so the milk glaze sets slightly on top.
