Birthday Cupcakes (low-fat too!)


Who doesn't love cupcakes? Off hand, I can't think of anyone. Not only are cupcakes a fun and easy treat to whip up at the drop of a hat, but they are also great to substitute for cake at a birthday. The best part is, these are low fat too!!! I'm giving away the SECRET to fabulous cupcakes that taste moist and delicious AND they are LOOOWWW FATTT!!! (Did I mention they were also B-day cupcakes? Oh yeah... haha I did :-)

Ingredients:

- cupcake mix (any flavor)
- corresponding icing
- 1 cup plain apple sauce
- 3 egg whites
- (Typically) 1- 1/3 cup water
- Tube icing (the kind you can write with that looks like it's in a cheese whiz bottle)

To Make:

Prepare the cupcake batter as shown on the box, however substitute the oil for one cup of plain apple sauce and the 3 eggs for just the whites.

Bake according the package and let cool for at least 20 minutes before attempting to ice them. Also make sure icing is at room temperature before attempting to ice.

Ice cupcakes with desired icing amount and arrange neatly into a serving dish or cake pan as seen in the picture. Taking the tube icing, write any birthday message on the cupcakes also as shown. Word to the wise, practice writing with the icing first before trying it out on the cupcakes.



That's it. It's simple and easy and low fat too! These are great for not only birthdays but any day that you want to make just a little extra special!
