This Week's Recipe - YUM!

90-Calorie Chocolate Cupcakes

Ingredients
1/4 cup and 2 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 cup hot water
3/4 cup granulated no-calorie sweetener (like Splenda)
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/3 cup low-fat milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda

Directions
Preheat oven to 325F. Line 12 muffin cups with liners and spray with non-stick cooking spray. If you do not spray the cupcake liners, the cupcakes will stick.

Place cocoa powder in a large bowl. Add hot water and whisk until smooth.

Whisk in sweetener until smooth, then add brown sugar, milk, vanilla extract, egg and mayonnaise and continue to work until smooth.

Gradually sift in flour, baking soda and baking powder and stir until well mixed.

Scoop 1/4 cup of batter into each muffin cup. Bake for 13 minutes or until the center springs back when touched or a toothpick comes out clean.
