Beat eggs then add the rest of the ingredients mix well dump in muffin pan bake @ 350 for 11-13 minutes. Oven times may vary.

This recipe makes 12. It wont allow me to post the pics. Says the file is to large....
-
Beebs, simply re-size the picture in MS Picture manager to 128kb or less....very easy to do. We all want to see your masterpiece ;D

Was I right on the carb count?

Hello All,
I just made the cupcakes! They taste good, but I made a mistake and put in baking soda instead of baking powder, then added the baking powder after and mixed and baked. I also didn't mix the eggs first. They fell in the middle, and are not fluffy...but again I made a couple of mistakes. I also used Xylo Sweet instead of Spenda, and love the flavor. It is zero sugars for this sweetner, and the health food store said something about the chemistry of Splenda and the difference with this product. I don't like the taste of Splenda, but love this stuff. No after taste for me. The frosting was good also with the Xylo Sweet, and I would only use a little less peanut butter for my taste! Is there anywhere to get Almond flour cheaper, and the Xylo Sweet, and can I mix any other type of flour to get more fluffy, and offset the cost?
Thanks a bunch, Happy Sugar Free eating,

make your own almond flour>>> just put a bag of almonds into a food processor :o>>bingo

Hey katary, check my carb count would ya? You're sucha whiz with that!
-
well whats the carbs for the cocoa?splenda?beanit? i know the rest but not sure about those items:)
-
Beautiful Beebs!!and no nuclear fallout!! hehehehee
beanit=0 carbs
cocoa=1 carb per tablespoon(which isnt much,an entire cheesecake only takes 2 tablespoons.a little goes a long way)
splenda =1 carb per packet
-
Im not at all sure that 3 is right..........

My 14 year old son helped me make the cupcakes. They are in the oven right now. We added about 1/2 cup of coconut and a little bit of sour cream (to make it rich and moist). Then, we replaced the vanilla extract with banana extract....the frosting is amazing! We can't wait to try the cupcakes when they are done!
-
They are so yummy!
-
W00t! Just wait til you see what Im making next.
-
Bring it on, sistah! ;D
-
My frosting looks darker than Beebs' frosting for some reason. As I said on facebook, I don't do "pretty" but they taste good. (Trying to attach a picture...we'll see if it works).
-
***Add 24 carbs for your splenda.***Find another sweetner.There is nothing cheap about splenda!It doesnt have to ba xylitol, there are plenty others.
-
I did not use splenda in mine.
-
it's just the difference in lighting I think.
-
This is the sweetener I used. It claims to have 0 carbs and it's a walmart product.

I'd love to hear what Umpa and Doug think of it.
-
OK, what a crock! I read up a bit more. This product I used is supposedly the same as splenda. I then looked up sucralose side effects...do a google search on it and you will be shocked. Medicinenet's web site says that it was discovered while trying to invent an insecticide! YIKES! I need to read more and I think I will stick with xylitol in the meantime.
-
LOL! Im switching to xylitol. I just ordered some from amazon. To much splenda being consumed here.
-
i am just watching your back my friend beebs! I don't trust products that are misleading.Its like when your kids lie to you once and you catch them you go,"i wonder what else they are hiding.
-
Well Ive gained 2 pounds so I say splenda is EVILLLL!!!! No more splenda for me. Im not happy with a 2lb gain at all.
-
If you read about how they discovered it, you will not want to touch it again!

http://www.holisticmed.com/splenda/ (http://www.holisticmed.com/splenda/)
Sucralose (Splenda) is a Chlorocarbon.
It is in the same family of chemicals as DDT and PCBs
Sucralose is a chemically altered sucrose (table sugar)molecule in which three of the hydroxyl
groups normally found in sucrose are replaced by chlorine atoms.
I tried it a few years ago and boy did it make me itch!

ownsmath I made these and they were really good but could use a little moistness. How much sour cream did you put in them? I want to try that next time.
-
I wish I could remember. Sorry.
-
Try about 1/4 cup Izzet,there isn't alot of liquid so you should be fine ;)
-
Thanks Umpa!

How much Zero would I use to replace the Splenda?
-
Hi Suz, I modified the recipe, just go back to page #1 on this topic ;)
-
Just made my FIRST batch!! I am sick of every sweet think tasting like chocolate or peanut butter so I put a few drops imitation caramel in my batter and my frosting was just ZERO, cream cheese, and a few drops of imitation banana. Oh....My....Goodness! It's a cupcake! A real, honest to goodness baked goodie! THANKS GUYS! I never thought I would be able to enjoy this texture again! ;D
Oh, and I did the math... making a dozen of these is STILL cheaper than a dozen pre-made sugary cupcakes from Publix! :) Win/win!
-
I love emulsions and extracts! My favorites is mango! Mango cupcakes would be awesome! Maybe pineapple frosting??
-
I will have to pick some Mango up... it is a fav here too!
-
Coconut is a staple at my house too ;) Especially for ice cream
