Introduction
This is an extremely low fat and low sugar recipe. I personally love the taste and my friends have also complimented this recipe after tasting it.If you don't like the plain vanilla cupcakes, feel free to try the jam filled option. I've included a photo of a Jam Filled Cupcake as well.
I tweaked this recipe a little from the banana bread recipe at the following link:

Ingredients
-
Combine in a large bowl:
2 c white flour or light whole spelt flour (or whole wheat or barley - or a mix of flours)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp soda
1 tsp baking powder
Combine separately:
4 large egg whites / 2 large eggs
*1/2 c sugar substitute (canderel / sucanat) or brown sugar
1 1/4 c skim / fat free milk or substitute
zest of a lemon or orange (optional)
1 tsp vanilla essence or 1 Tbsp dark rum
Optional: When pouring batter into muffin pan, pour in two thirds of batter then a teaspoon of jam of your choice (strawberry works well) and then cover the jam completely with another third of the batter.
Tips
* For sugar-free (free of refined sugar) or lower-sugar version, replace the sugar with 1/3c of unsweetened fruit juice concentrate (apple, orange, white grape), agave syrup, maple syrup or honey.
- If the batter seems to be a bit stiff / thick, add milk until it becomes a smooth, almost pouring batter.
- If you are going to use cupcake liners, spray them with non stick spray first and then pour in the batter.
- Where there are options, I've included the first options in the nutritional information. Alternatives and optional add-ins are not included in the nutritional information.
Directions
Mix wet and dry until incorporated. Pour into a generously greased and dusted muffin pan or greased cupcake liners. Bake at 350 for about 15 min - a toothpick inserted in center should come out clean. Wait 10 minutes before removing from pan and placing on a rack to cool.
