95 Calorie Decedent Chocolate cupcakes



I LOOOOOOVVVVE it when people share awesome healthy recipes with me!  

This particular recipe comes from my friend (and former client) Kellee!!!!  

Kellee has gotten herself in KILLER shape, and truly adopted her new healthy lifestyle complete with clean eating!  She has discovered the FUN (yes, it truly does become fun)  In finding NEW HEALTHY RECIPES that are also DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!

Here is one that is sooooo good it will replace your unhealthy, fat laden, sugar filled cupcakes ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!!!!


Ingredients
1 3/4 cup of old fashioned oats
3 egg whites
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or regular plain low fat yogurt)
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup hot water
1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1-1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup baking stevia, or healthy sweetener of your choice
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used the mini chips) 

Instructions
1. Line a muffin pan with foil cupcake liners, or you can also spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Mix all of the ingredients together in a blender (except for the chocolate chips) on LOW. Blend until mixture is smooth. Do not over blend.
4. Place mixture in cupcake liners. I filled mine about 3/4 the way full. Once the batter was in the liners, I placed the chocolate chips on top.
5. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

*Tip: At 12 minutes, take cupcakes out and place a few more chocolate chips on top to get the "muffin top."

AND, If you're looking for something that tastes EXTRA DECEDENT, but is still perfectly clean, try drizzling my Healthy Caramel on top.  You can find the recipe HERE

You have 2 options for serving sizes here.  If you ONLY want to eat cupcakes for your entire mini meal (remember, you should be eating 5 to 6 small meals throughout the day)  You can have 2 cupcakes for a serving/meal.

If you'd like a meal with a little added protein, I would eat 1 cupcake plus a serving of protein (4 oz) and a serving of veggies!
