Not only are these sweet treats nice to look at (hello, rainbow sprinkles!), but they are also filled with better-for-you ingredients like oat flour, coconut oil and Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides. We love adding this standout to recipes because our Collagen Peptides are odorless, flavorless and easily soluble in hot and cold liquids, making them a truly versatile ingredient.

Topping off this sweet, moist cupcake is a simple homemade “frosting” that calls for only two ingredients. The marshmallow whip is made with ghee (or butter) and marshmallows of your choice!
