If you are diabetic, you can enjoy sugar free, fat free chocolate cupcakes by substituting 1/3 cup of agave syrup for the sugar.

Agave syrup aka agave nectar is a natural sugar substitute.  It comes from the agave plant.

Agave syrup metabolizes slower than sugar and you won’t have the spikes in your blood sugar that you normally will when eating sugar.

To make these fat free chocolate cupcakes with extra moisture and loaded with good nutrition, add 1/2 cup of grated zucchini. This is a great way to get your kids to eat their veggies. Zucchini contains vitamin A and C and is naturally fat free. Read More

Another Simple Cupcake Recipe

The easiest way to come up with a new cupcake recipe is to personalize an existing one.  If your favorite cupcake flavor is chocolate, to make create a new recipe from the original chocolate, you can come up with various ideas to make the recipe your own.

For chocolate cupcakes you can do a black forest version of this treat.  You can add a little brandy to the batter and top off your cupcake with cherries.  You can also use bittersweet or dark chocolate. A Devil’s Food cupcake is also another adaptation for the chocolate cupcake modification.  My favorite version is to top off my cupcakes with ice cream instead of frosting.  After your chocolate cupcake has cooled, slice off the domes to create flat topped cupcakes. Garnish your cupcakes with your favorite flavor ice cream.  I like to put vanilla on top of mine. Aside from cupcakes, I also love brownies, so another way to incorporate these two is to add some nuts and marshmallows into the batter.  If you have time to make different flavors of cupcakes you can layer them to create a multi flavored one.  For example, you can exchange the domes of your chocolate flavored one with a vanilla bottom.  Top a chocolate domed cupcake with a butter flavored frosting and the vanilla domed with a chocolate flavored icing.   Read More
