Eggless Vanilla Cupcakes

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 16:00:33 -0400

I adapted this recipe from a vegan one that had been a favorite of mine, but never went over too well with my family because the consistency of the cupcakes was heavier like a muffin's. The addition of butter makes these moist cupcakes lighter, but they can be re-veganized by using oil instead, and by using soy milk instead of skim milk. Feel free to use two cups of all-purpose or two cups of whole wheat flour, according to preference, rather than one of each. -- posted by Alexander Mar

La Times Butter Cupcakes

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 01:41:14 -0400

Got this from the LA Times Food Section. They turned out wonderfully! It's the first time I made cupcakes from scratch and I am hooked. The batter is stiffer than cake batter. Also I don't have the recommended baking temperature so I just used 350 F. They did not require the full 15-20 minutes as stated in the recipe. -- posted by RedFarmGirl

"sneaky" Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes Kids Love

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:07:25 -0400

These little gems look like a bite of chocolate heaven - even to ME!! I KNOW they will satisfy my little guy - who is on an anti-veggie kick at the moment. Makes me think of the decadent chocolate frosted cake from school daze that had beets in it - every kid's nightmare. Couldn't believe it when I saw the recipe as a kid. Oh, well. Get 'em in there any way you can Mommy....until they get over the YUCK phase. THIS TOO SHALL PASS! And with these cupcakes, it looks like our secret is safe!! -- posted by Mommy Diva

Salad Dressing Cupcakes

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 11:35:43 -0400

This is a recipe from allrecipes.com. These are pretty dense and not as cakey as the name implies but still really good! Also the recipe calls for cocoa powder but it is optional. I don't use it just because I prefer vanilla to chocolate cupcakes but it is entirely your preference! Also...I am not a frosting person (I always use to scrape it off as a kid...haha) so I don't frost mine but definitely you can! Enjoy! I also made mine gluten free and I used Rob's Red Mill's All Purpose Gluten Free Flour. -- posted by Kelly0412

I wanted to make a low-sugar cupcake with no artificial sweeteners for my son's first birthday. This is what I came up with after testing out a few different ideas.

Birthday Cupcakes (Clean Eating)

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:06:56 -0400

From Tosca Reno's book the Eat Clean Diet for family and kids. For frosting: start with 1/2 c of confectioners sugar but you may need to add more - this will depend on how much water has drained from your yogurt and how stiff it is. You can adjust accordingly. This will not be the sickeningly sweet frosting you normally expect from a conventional birthday cake or cupcake. -- posted by Chef #545970

White Chocolate Cupcakes

I got this recipe out of a Woman's World magazine at work. It is very tasty but I had a problem with my cupcakes not rising. I'm posting it anyway in hopes that someone else will try it and maybe have better success than me. The white chocolate buttercream frosting is very rich but really yummy! You can melt the chips in the mircowave but I had better success using a double boiler. -- posted by *Z*

Best Cupcakes Ever

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:29:00 -0400

This recipe is adopted from a recipe for Flag Cake by the Barefoot Contessa. I made it for 4th of July 2009 and it was probably the best cake I've ever made. I don't usually like cream cheese frosting, but this one is divine, especially with the fresh berries on top. A few months later I found cupcakes topped with raspberries and blueberries at Star Provisions' bakery in Atlanta, and I could swear they used this same recipe, though Annie Quatrano might beg to differ. That's what gave me the idea to make cupcakes with the Flag Cake recipe. The cake batter includes sour cream, which makes the cake SO moist and delicious. I've tried substituting 1/2 cup of Splenda for half a cup of the sugar in the batter and they came our great, so you could experiment with substituting Splenda for even more of the sugar. Enjoy! -- posted by Cook-a-holic

Blueberry-Bran and Dark Chocolate Muffins

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 17:32:26 -0400

Healthy and delicious muffins for everyone (mini or otherwise). I usually make giant size ones, but mini-muffins work just as well for kids' lunchboxes or as a bite-size treat (they are quite rich if you put a lot of chocolate in them, but depends on your preference). This is my favorite muffin recipe because it yields juicy and sweet muffins which are hit with everyone. After experimenting with muffin making I decided these were the best quantities and steps! My tip is to use very dark chocolate, I tend to not go lower than 70/80% cocoa mass. -- posted by Orava

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:58:57 -0400

Usually this includes a lot of additional eggs, sugar and butter but no flour - which makes it good as well but somewhat richer. I changed the recipe as i could not be bothered to whip the egg whites and care for the batter to cool down in order to add the yolks. So i went for a little four instead and gave it a try. What a treat! I love it! It is just too easy to be good :-) Enjoy with vanilla icecream.

You can omit the filling (which will make this a delicious dairy free recipe) and fill the cupcake liners 2/3 full... then the recipe only makes about 18-24 plain (but so delicious) chocolate cupcakes. ***I know it sounds weird but DON'T SKIP THE VINEGAR!!*** It gives the recipe its unique flavor.

Teff Muffins With Fruit & Nuts

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:34:56 -0400

The grains of teff are so small, the bulk of the grain consists of the bran and germ. This makes teff nutrient dense as the bran and germ are the most nutritious parts of any grain. This grain has a very high calcium content. It is considered to have an excellent amino acid composition, with lysine levels higher than wheat or barley. Teff is high in protein, carbohydrates, and fiber. It contains no gluten so it is appropriate for those with gluten intolerance. Teff flour, brown rice flour & arrowroot flour can be purchased at whole food stores. -- posted by lwatkins
