New Year, New You?! — 100 Calorie Chocolate Cupcakes

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Are you feeling weighed down from all of the holiday eating?  We are! 

“They” say that we will look and feel better (and maybe even live longer) if we move a little more and eat a little less.  So let’s resolve to start fresh…but without giving up cupcakes (duh?!)!!

So this begins a few posts with ideas to help you “have your cupcake and eat it too.”

#1: A 100 Calorie Chocolate Cupcake from the recipes section of Medicinenet.com

They use Fat-Free Sour Cream, Egg Whites, and Powdered Sugar instead of fatty frosting!
We made them in our Baked for You polka dot cups.  The patterns don’t fade when you bake in them!!
