Cupcake recipes needed pretty please?

[sunnies]

Evening
Got the bug for baking again and the other half loves my cupcakes but they are so high in fat. I was wondering if anyone had a cupcake recipe that was more SW friendly please?

Thanks!

To be honest I think you'll struggle as most of the syns are in the flour and sugar. You can replace sugar with sweetener but can't really get past the syns in the flour.

These sound lovely,, know what Ill be making this weekend!

 

[*angie*]

I have a recipe that I use - 7 syns (IIRC) for a *big* size chocolate with chocolate chips cupcake. Proper size, proper food, proper taste, no sweeteners. I also have another vanilla cupcake recipe, but can't remember syns for that - it will be similar.

Let me know if interested (would have to post later when at home), the recipe sounds a bit odd, but they work very well .
