Ingredients

    1/2 cup vanilla soy yogurt
    2/3 cup fat free vanilla or plain soy milk
    1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
    3 tbl canola oil
    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, soy milk, applesauce, oil, sugar and, vanilla. Sift in flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and mix.

Fill the cupcake liners three-quarters full. Bake 22 to 24 minutes until a knife or toothpick inserted through the center of one comes out clean. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Spread cupcake with a few thin layers of spreadable fruit at room temperature. Neatly and evenly spread the layers for the most attractive appearance. Spoon a small circle of Skinny Confectioners' Icing on top of the jam, decorate with fresh fruit and carefully drizzle tops of berries with more icing.

    Amazing! I have the book and was so happy with how these low-fat treats turned out. I took them to a dinner party and had a ton of compliments...no one knew they were vegan! - 10/14/08

    The batch we made came out a little dense, but DELICOUS! Even Boyfriends (who "hates everything vegan") couldn't stop eating them. - 2/5/09

    These are amazing! Sure to become a regular item that I bring to share and spread the goodness about vegan baked goods.
    I like how they are a bit dense. Kind of a cross between a cupcake and a muffin. A cupmuffcake!

    Oh so delicious! I made fresh strawberry syrup to go on mine & they were great! Thinking I'll do almond extract w/ cherries next time. I'll definitely be making this again...and again. - 5/7/09

    My family LOVED these. I didn't have the applesauce so used ground flax seed and they turned out great.
    Thanks for sharing.

    I can't have soy any suggestions for a vegan replacement of the yogurt? - 5/12/08

    Reply from (6/17/08)
    There is a rice based yogurt, it'd probably be the easiest although I think it's thinner than soy yogurt so you might want to back off the liquids. Barring that, I think the yogurt is an egg replacer so you can always try what you normally use for egg replacing but I have no idea how it end up.

    sounds good, but had a couple of questions. Is the oil mentioned in the directions supposed to be there or not? Can I sub skim milk for the soy milk, and how do I make plain yogurt into vanilla yogurt? - 5/7/08

    Reply from (6/17/08)
    I fixed the oil, thanks for noticing. Vanilla yogurt is a flavor you can buy alongside plain yogurt. Otherwise you'd have to add vanilla to your plain. Skim milk is thinner than soy milk and may affect the texture but you probably can. I haven't tried that as I'm vegan.
