This is my all time favorite recipe ever! It's so simple to make, it comes out so creamy and soft everytime, and there are so many different variations you can make of it!

Skinny Mini Cupcakes

Yield: 48 cupcakes

Ingredients

For Cupcakes:
½ box cake mix (dry mix only)
2 egg whites
½ cup water
1 6 ounce container yogurt the same flavor as the cake mix
1 tsp vanilla

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Using cupcake liners, line two mini muffin pans with cupcake liners and set aside.
3. In a stand up mixer or using a hand mixer, mix dry cake mix, vanilla, egg whites, yogurt, and water until well mixed. Mix around 2-3 minutes.
4. Using a spoon, evenly fill cupcake liners with cake batter.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center of cupcake comes out clean.


and thats it! No joke! That's all! I got this recipe from this link "http://www.skinnymom.com/2013/04/15/skinny-mini-red-velvet-cupcakes" but its just so free to alter!

When I first tried it, I made the red velvet cupcakes as the recipe says and for one cupcake it was 26 Calories, 4 Carbs, 1 Fat, 1 Protein, 3 Sugar, 1 Calcium.... YES ONLY 26 CALORIES!

I got so excited I couldn't believe it! The yogurt gave it a bright red color and it was so soft and creamy! Not only is it healthy it was the best red velvet anything I've ever had!!!!

So it got me thinking, what if I could make other type of cupcakes with this? And right away I had to try another recipe!

Next I made vanilla cupcakes (using Pillsbury Traditional Yellow Cake Mix and Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla yogurt) and they had the same creamy consistency! They were amazing! and guess what! These ones were only 19 calories! (19 Calories, 4 Carbs, 0 Fat, 1 Protein, 2 Sugar, 1 Calcium)

I can't wait to try out this recipe with more flavors, like lemon, orange, or banana! My next adventure will probably be strawberry! I also wanna try chocolate cake mix with cherry yogurt to see if it tastes like cherries and chocolate (that's my favorite flavor anything)

That's it for now, but seriously you NEED to try this out. K bye! (:

    These sound so good...

    A little tip to make your cupcakes rise: preheat the oven to 375 instead of 350, then as soon as you put the cupcakes in turn it down to 350. When you open the door, lots of heat comes out and the internal temperature drops, causing the cupcakes to never rise properly. I do this will all of my baking that needs to rise and it helps so much.

    I did end up using two different size boxes and just poured out what looked to be like half. One box was closer to 500 g, another was more like 400g... doing the math around 235g would be around half, anywhere around that point would be good
