The ingredients for Rich Chocolate Protein Cupcake are:

1 cup whole-grain oat flour
(I ground oatmeal in a blender to make this)
(use 1.5 cups if not using protein powder)
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (1 cup if not using chocolate protein powder)
1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
(I used 1cup 2%milk + 1tbs lemon juice. Let stand 5 minutes)
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 large egg whites
1.5 cups unpacked brown sugar (either light or dark. I used a mix of both.)
1 cup fat-free vanilla yogurt, sweetened
(I used greek 2% plain which adds to the fat count, but also increases the protein)
