Hi guys -- I'd like to find a healthy (more so than just the box stuff you find) cupcake or cake mix? It's my weakness so looking to make it not so bad for me.

Thanks so much!

    Someone posted this a few months back. It is for the boxed mixes though, but I thought you might like it:

    I love anything by Cooking Light (watch the portions -- they're small!).

    And here's something I just found via google: http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20359278,00.html

    One easy way to cut calories is to replace the eggs with applesauce..

    1egg = 1/4cup applesauce + 1/4tsp baking soda/powder

    I do this one frequently!!! :) And I add some of the crystal light lemonade packets to some lite or fat free cool whip (depending on how strong you want the flavoring) and use that as my frosting.

    Have you tried the weight watchers recipe, I box spice cake and 1 can pumpkin. I make it in a muffin tin and it is tasty cupcakes for the week.

    This sounds awesome!! I volunteered to make a cake for a birthday at work tomorrow, and I might just try this!

    My daughter made these this weekend! Yummy!
    Decreased the sugar to 3/4 cup and left out molasses.

    I made this the other day... chocolate zucchini bread. I was amazed. It was better than chocolate cake! You can use it for cupcakes as well, so moist and delicious!! You can substitute the oil for applesauce like someone else mentioned. Try it!

    If I am in a rush (can't make my own recipe) I use the box and replace the egg with 2 egg whites and the oil with applesauce.
