Have you been asked to prepare something for a Valentine’s Event? Want to make something sweet for your sweetie?! Here is a perfect healthy cupcake recipe!
Make these in the mini size cupcake tin!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Cupcake
Combine dry ingredients…
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup vanilla whey protein powder -see below! 😉
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/3 cup organic sugar
3 tbs natural stevia powder… or 6 packets of stevia natural sweetener
Add one at a time to dry mix with a whisk…
2 egg whites
3 tbsp canola oil
1/2 cup nonfat plain organic yogurt (this will add moisture)
3 tsp vanilla extract
** to make chocolate cupcakes, add 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder and replace vanilla protein powder with chocolate powder.
Spray olive oil cooking pam on paper liners in cupcake pan. Pour mix in no more than 1/2 to 3/4 full (do not overfill). We used mini cupcake trays and they were perfect! Bake for 14-17 minutes or until middle is cooked (use a tooth pick and make sure it comes out dry when you test them). Let cool before you frost them 🙂
Frosting
Whip together…
1 cup light cream cheese
2 tbs plain low fat Greek yogurt
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup organic powdered sugar
1/4 cup stevia powder
You can crush raspberries to make the frosting pink too!
