Preheat oven to 350°F, line 10 cups of a muffin pan with cupcake lines, and lightly spray insides with cooking spray (or use non-stick pan).
In a bowl, whisk flour, maple protein powder, baking powder and baking soda.
In a large bowl, whisk together milk, Greek yogurt, applesauce and melted butter.
Add dry mix to wet, and gently fold until combined.
DO NOT OVER-MIX or protein powder will make the cupcakes gummy.
Divide batter among cupcake cavities filling ¾ way to the top.
Smoothen tops with back of spoon or small spatula.
Bake for 18-20 minutes. A toothpick inserted into center comes out dry.
Cool for 10 minutes, then remove from pan.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
Maple Frosting + Bacon:
Preheat oven to 425°F
Place bacon on foil-lined baking sheet and bake 12 minutes.
Let cool, then break/crumble.
In a bowl, mix yogurt and maple protein powder until smooth.
Scoop out and spread frosting on top of cupcakes, top with bacon pieces/crumbles.
