    Mix well

    Bake at 325 for 20 min

    box of vanilla cake mix, can of diet sprite... mix the two together (nothing else) and bake according to the instructions on the box, use any kind of frosting you can buy at the store.

    This is the total cop out way, but it's SO easy and SO fast and they're SO good for about 130 cals (depending on the frosting you use)

    60 calories a cupcake as seen on the Biggest Loser!

    Sorry...its just vanilla though...looks like the icing could be played with for different flavors.

    i bet if you used truvia instead of sugar it would help a lot too! Here are some more uber healthy recipes from Maria Emmerich, my nutritionist. She's AMAZING and is a perfect example of weight-loss without restriction:

    Google "Curtis Stone Biggest Loser cupcake". He uses honey and whole wheat flour to really cut calories. Also, I think he used egg whites instead of eggs and something instead of oil perhaps? Anyway, it's an easy recipe. I found it this way!

    I just use a box mix and the cupcakes are only 80 calories each before frosting :)

    You can use any low sugar cake mix - no eggs or oil JUST DIET COKE or DIET SPRITE. It makes a wonderful light cake or cupcakes.:blushing:

    These are awesome ideas! I've never heard of the mix + diet soda trick... will have to try that! Also the angel food cake mix + crushed pineapple sounds like a delicious summer treat! Nummy! ;

    1 box of cake mix
    1 can of pumpkin

    I've tried chocolate & spice cake mix and both are so yummy!!!

    Maybe add fat free cool whip for topping / icing? It was good as is and very moist.

    This is how I made some:

    1 box angel food cake mix
    1 20 oz. can of shredded pineapple bits in natural juices

    mix together well, bake as box instructions tell you too.

    For frosting I mixed fat free cool whip with vanilla fat free pudding mix (powder).

    I think total each cupcake was around 180 cals? I could be wrong but it was super low :)
