This may be a stupid question but what is fruit sugar? I have granular sugar, brown sugar, confectioners sugar, extra fine granular sugar (for frostings) but I've never had any recipes call for fruit sugar : )
Nevermind... I googled it ; ) My extra fine sugar for frosting will work!!0 -
Going to try with a sugar sub .....yum!0

Have a google to see what you could replace the eggs with.... I've definitely made vegan cupcakes before but I can't remember what I used instead of the eggs!0 -

Normal sugar will work fine... I've always used a low GI sugar that I had lying around. Just be aware that you may need to adjust the calories accordingly as your chosen type of sugar may contain a higher calorie count.0 -
This is the fruit sugar I use...

There is no way this recipe will make muffins the size of that picture. They will be smallish cupcakes at best. That picture you've listed is for a muffin that's the size of a fist in real life. If yours were that big they'd be at least 300 cals. It's impossible to get it lower because flour is a stupid amount of calories.
Would also suggest substituting part of the flour for wholemeal and replacing the butter with coconut or almond oil. Sugar can also be subbed with natural maple syrup or honey. Doesn't really impact the cals but better nutritionally. Can also apparently up the protein by replacing some/all the flour with ground almonds. I've not actually tried that though so don't know if it works.0 -
