Yummy Cupycakes =)

Now here is a recipe that everyone can enjoy, and a dessert that kids are sure to love. Cupcakes are easy to make and fun to decorate. With just the right ingredients you can have a delicious and healthy batch of cupcakes in no time!

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup butter

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

2 egg whites

2/3 cup plain yogurt

Directions:

1.        Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line the cupcake cups with foil or paper liners (I like to use pretty colorful paper cupcake liners J)

2.        In a bowl, add and stir together the flour, baking powder and baking soda - set it aside.

3.       In a large separate mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, butter and vanilla for about 2-5 minutes, or until it’s well mixed. Now add the egg whites (one at a time) whipping for about a minute after each one. Then add the flour mixture consecutively with the yogurt, be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is well mixed.

4.        Pour the batter into the prepared cupcake pan one cupcake at a time (only pour the batter in ¾ of the way up or else you’ll have a batch of deformed cupcakes on your hands lol) and then place them in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. It always helps to stick a toothpick into the middle of a cupcake and if it comes out clean they’re ready to go. Let cool and ENJOY! =)
