Cheat Day Cafe posted a 'sweet' recipe for low/no fat cupcakes that will fit into any spring diet plan. To celebrate the first day of spring today - i had to bring in some treats for my office. I decided to go with the "lite" version of cupcakes - because the office is very good about trying my little experiments and there are a lot of people who are watching their food intake right now.
So - Key Lime Cupcakes!
Find the posting here: http://cheatdaycafe.blogspot.com/2009/03/cupcake-controversy.html
The ingredients are so simple!
1 box of cake mix
2 egg whites
10 oz. liquid from either diet soda or unset jello
For my Key Lime Cupcakes I used lime sugar-free jello and the juice of 2 key limes. They looked so pretty! For the frosting, I whipped together powdered sugar, milk, and green food coloring. JI made it thin enough to let me just dip the tops in the frosting.
Super easy - and pretty tasty!
I guess I took some pictures in the dark - sorry!

oh wow! I've used iet soda liek this before, but never jello. I'll have to give that a try! The key lime looks great.
What a great, easy recipe! And I love the shiny little dollops on top - they're like buttons!
These look so pretty and bet they taste light and refreshing, just like spring!
Yum! Key lime cupcakes sound really good - I know my husband would love them as he is a huge fan of key limes. Great recipe!
I'm so glad you tried the jell-o out. I love key lime anything, so I might have to try this out!
Wow...these look really awesome! So fun...the kids would love 'em!
