Tweet

Serves 6

Ingredients:

Cupcakes
5/6 cup (or 1/2 cup + 3tbsp + 1tsp) all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted
1 egg whites
1/8 cup low fat plain yogurt
3/8 cup almond milk (or any milk)
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
seeds scraped from 1/4 split vanilla bean (optional)

Strawberry Filling
1 cups diced strawberries (about 7-8 medium strawberries finely diced)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 Tablespoons cornstarch

Directions
1. Make the strawberry filling first. Place the strawberries in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly for about 4 full minutes until the strawberry juices have been released.

2. Add the sugar and cornstarch and continue to stir for another 2 minutes. The mixture will be much thicker. Remove from heat and allow to cool as you prepare the cupcakes.

3. Make the cupcakes: Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line muffin tin with 6 cupcake liners. Set aside.

4. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

5. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in the microwave.

6. Stir in sugar - mixture will be gritty.

7. Stir in egg whites, yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract until combined. Split 1 vanilla bean down the middle lengthwise. Scrape seeds from quarter of the vanilla bean into batter.


8. Slowly mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no lumps remain. Batter will be thick.
Divide batter among 6 cupcake liners and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before filling and frosting.


9. Fill the cupcakes: Using a sharp knife, cut a circle/hole into the center of the cupcake to create a little pocket about 1/2 to 3/4 height of the cupcake. Place 1 teaspoon (or more) of strawberry filling inside.
