    Hi! I made these - and just a word to the wise!! Do NOT use raspberries unless you know for certain that they are sweet - also, they are very difficult to strain the seeds. The cupcakes with the banana frosting came out much better than my yuch out of season sour raspberries (that were $6/mini carton! arrgh!) the cupcakes were very good ...just had better luck with bananas! enjoy the recipe!

    sorry - here's the recipe w/ the banana frosting:
    Vanilla Cupcakes
    Makes about 14 cupcakes

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

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

    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.
