60 Calorie Vanilla Cupcakes

Makes about 14 cupcakes

Ingredients
5 egg whites
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup nonfat yogurt
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

For the frosting
1 cup nonfat cream cheese
1/2 ripe banana

For raspberry frosting as seen on the Biggest Loser (100 calories):
1 cup nonfat cream cheese, at room temp
1 cup fresh raspberries
Fresh raspberries to garnish

Method

Preheat the oven to 325F.
Place the egg whites in a large bowl and using a handheld mixer whip the whites on medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes or until the whites begin to lighten up and hold their shape.
Increase speed to high and whip in the salt and honey until the whites hold a soft peak, then add the vanilla extract.
Fold in the yogurt.
In a separate medium mixing bowl combine the flour and baking powder and mix well.
Sift the dry ingredients into the egg whites a little at a time, gently folding them in with a rubber spatula.
Once fully incorporated, scoop the batter into cupcake tins lined with cupcake papers.
Bake the cupcakes for 15 to 20 minutes or until they have colored and gently spring back when pushed with a finger.
Remove from the oven and cool the cupcakes at room temp.
Mix the cream cheese and the banana in a medium mixing bowl until well incorporated, leaving small chunks of banana throughout the frosting.
Once cool, spread a little of the banana frosting over the cupcakes and (top each with a raspberry?) serve.

For raspberry frosting:

While the cupcakes are baking, puree the raspberries in a blender until smooth.
Pass through a fine mesh strainer into a small saucepot and cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until the puree reduces slightly.
Cool completely.
Place the cream cheese into a medium mixing bowl and fold the puree into the cream cheese until fully mixed.
Once cupcakes are cool, spread a little of the berry frosting over the cupcakes, garnish each with one raspberry and serve.

Blueberry Pomegranate Popsicles Recipe

Ingredients:

1 (8 oz.) bottle of POM pomegranate juice - 160 calories
1 pint fresh blueberries (402g) - 229 calories
1 (6 oz.) container Greek yogurt (I used plain) - 60 calories

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a blender, and pulse until combined. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds or Dixie cups, add popsicle sticks, and then freeze until frozen. (My mixture was thick enough for the popsicle stands to stay in place. But if they do start to fall over, just cut a small slit in a square of wax paper, thread the popsicle stick through it, and then place on top of the Dixie cup. Remove wax paper once the popsicles are frozen.)

All together, this has 449 calories. Depending on the size of your popsicles, you can make different numbers of popsicles. If you make six each will have 75 calories

Bump! So want these for later.

Also, question. Instead of all-purpose flour, can I use wheat?

whole wheat flour works with most cookie recipes, but you want to add 50% more levening (baking soda, baking powder, or yeast)
I use Gluten flour for things for my grandfather, since he's diabetic!
