7 Easy Cupcake Recipes for Moist, Melt-In-Your-Mouth Desserts

Just because you’re working to improve your diet doesn’t mean you have to give up sugar and sweets.

You can keep the calories under control by using creative ingredient tweaks like using Greek yogurt instead of butter and cutting the flour with protein powder, which means you will have no trouble fitting your creations into your meal plans.

Don’t believe me?

Many of these cupcake recipes create the seemingly impossible: 100-calorie treats. Enjoy!

 

Carrot Cake Muffins

This recipe might call the final result a muffin, but if you choose to add cream cheese frosting to the top, no one will be the wiser.

And to make an even healthier snack, top them with protein frosting: Mix a couple scoops of vanilla whey with equal parts Greek yogurt and cream cheese; add milk to thin, if necessary.

Serves 16

Ingredients

1 cup whole-wheat flour

1 cup LEGION WHEY+ vanilla protein isolate (or unbleached all-purpose flour)

2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 Tbsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. ginger

3/4 cup coconut oil (or olive oil)

1 cup raw sugar

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt

3 large eggs, room temperature

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 cups shredded carrots

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1/2 cup raisins

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1/4 cup oats

Instructions

1. Put 2 racks in the center of the oven, and preheat the oven to 350°F. Add liners to cupcake baking pan, sprinkle half the oats inside, and set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, sift together whole-wheat flour, protein powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to combine brown sugar and oil. Beat in the yogurt and applesauce until fully combined. Mixture will be gritty and thin. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.

4. With a spatula, manually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. All flour pockets should be gone, but do not overmix. Fold in the finely shredded carrots, shredded coconut, raisins, and walnuts. Divide batter among prepared cupcake pans. Sprinkle the remaining oats on top.

5. Bake for 20–23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs.

Banana Quinoa Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting

cupcake-recipes-healthy Picture & recipe courtesy of Desserts with Benefits

Cupcakes without added sugar, you ask?

These babies rely on the natural sugars in bananas to get most of their sweetness, as well as a splash of stevia extract to boost the flavor.

If you stick with non-dairy milk and yogurt, you’ll wind up with a slightly spiced vegan cupcake. Of course, it’s also possible to use regular milk and Greek yogurt, if that’s what’s in the fridge.

Serves 14

Ingredients

Banana Cupcakes:

2 cups quinoa flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. cinnamon

1/8 tsp. nutmeg

1 + 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 cup mashed bananas (use 3 over-ripe bananas)

1/4 cup vanilla Amande yogurt (or Greek yogurt)

1 tsp. stevia extract

1 tsp. vanilla paste (or vanilla extract)

1/2 tsp. butter extract (optional)

Frosting:

1 cup peanut flour (or PB2)

10 packets Truvia (or sweetener of choice)

1/2 cup + 1 tsp. unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Use paper liners or parchment paper to prep the tins to make 14 cupcakes.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the quinoa flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

3. In a large bowl, stir together the almond milk, mashed banana, yogurt, stevia, vanilla, and butter extract.

4. Slowly add the dry into the wet while stirring, and fold the batter well. Scoop the batter into the prepared cupcake tins, and tap the pan on the counter a few times to level.

5. Bake for 18 –20 minutes, or until cupcakes spring back when tapped. A couple minutes after removing them from the oven, transfer the cupcakes to a wire cooling rack.

6. Make the frosting in a medium-sized bowl, stir together the peanut flour, sweetener, and milk. Scoop into a piping bag, and frost the cupcakes once they are sufficiently cooled.

Red Velvet Lentil Cupcakes

cupcake-recipe-healthy Picture courtesy of Carnal Dish

These cupcakes use lentils for depth of flavor and beets for the classic color because after all, what would red velvet cupcakes be without that rich color?

When you use beets, the red looks a lot more decadent and a lot less garish. Plus, these treats have enough nutrients to justify the sinful flavor.

Serves 18

Ingredients

Cupcakes:

1 medium red beet, very finely shredded (about 1 1/2 cup, loosely packed)

1/2 cup butter, softened (or coconut oil)

4 oz. reduced-fat cream cheese, softened

1 cup cane sugar

2 large eggs

2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

1 cup spelt flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 cup cocoa powder (NOT Dutch process)

1/2 cup dry brown lentils + 1 cup water (makes 1 1/4 cup lentil puree)

 Maple Frosting:

4 oz. reduced-fat cream cheese, softened

4 oz. butter, slightly softened

3 Tbsp. maple syrup

1–4 Tbsp. arrowroot powder (optional thickener)

Instructions

1. Bring 1 cup of water to a boil and add the lentils. Let simmer rapidly for a minute or so, then reduce to a gentle simmer and let them cook until they’re soft, about 20 minutes. Mash the as much as you can by hand, and set aside to let cool completely.

2. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line muffin tins with 18 cupcake liners.

3. Shred the beet, and set aside.

4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.

5. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and cream cheese. (If using coconut oil, beat the cream cheese by itself until it’s fluffy, and then slowly pour in the oil.) Add the lentils, and beat until smooth. Mix in the sugar. Reduce speed to low, and add the eggs, vanilla, and beets.

6. Slowly spoon the dry ingredients into the batter, and mix well. Do not overbeat.

7. Fill cupcake liners about two-thirds full. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Transfer to a cooling rack.

8. Place the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer and cream together on medium until smooth, 2-3 minutes. Drizzle in the maple syrup, and mix until smooth. If the frosting is a bit sticky from the maple syrup, add arrowroot powder 1 tablespoon at a time until smooth.

9. Spoon maple cream cheese frosting on top of cooled cupcakes, and serve.

Skinny Lemon Cheesecake Cupcakes

healthy-recipe-cupcake Picture & recipe courtesy of The Comfort of Cooking

Cupcakes, cheesecake, and Cool Whip? It’s impossible to resist these light bites, which are especially good with fresh fruit on top like raspberries or blueberries.

For real lemonheads, top with candied lemon peel so there are no other flavors competing with the scrumptious sour-sweet combo.

Completing the picture perfect dessert is a vanilla wafer cookie at the bottom to act as a simple crust.

Serves 12

Ingredients

12 vanilla wafer cookies

1 package (8 oz.) reduced-fat cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup raw sugar

1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

3/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt

1 Tbsp. white whole wheat flour

12 fresh raspberries

12 Tbsp. Cool Whip Lite

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. Prepare a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Place one vanilla wafer at the bottom of each liner.

3. Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until smooth. Beat in yogurt, egg whites, lemon juice, lemon zest, and flour until well blended. Pour into cupcake liners, filling halfway.

3. Bake for 25 minutes, or until center is almost set. Cool in pans at room temperature for 15–20 minutes. Before removing cheesecakes from muffin cup, let them chill for a couple hours in the refrigerator.

4. Add a tablespoon of Cool Whip Lite to each cupcake, and top with fresh berries.

Healthier Chocolate Cupcakes

cupcake-healthy-recipes Picture & recipe courtesy of Your Healthy Place

Can chocolate cupcakes be as healthy as they are decadent? You bet.

These cupcakes pack enough flavor to match the deep, dark color, meaning your craving will be squashed whether it’s for chocolate or cake or both.

But inside there’s a secret ingredient for sweetness and nutrition: shredded carrots. This creates a denser cake that has fewer calories all the while adding a little fiber, nutrients like potassium, and vitamins including B6 and K.

Serves 12

Ingredients

Cupcakes:

1/2 cup finely grated carrot

2 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted

1 large egg

1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk

1 cup minus 2 Tbsp. whole-wheat pastry flour

1 tsp. baking powder

3/4 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1/2 cup hot water

 Chocolate Frosting:

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 1/2 Tbsp. cocoa powder

1 1/2 Tbsp. light cream cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. Put the finely grated carrot into a fine mesh strainer. Hold the strainer over a sink and squeeze the grated carrot to remove as much liquid as possible. Place into a medium bowl.

3. Add the melted oil, egg, and buttermilk. Once combined, mix in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and cocoa powder. Gently stir in the hot water.

4. Divide the batter between 12 lined muffin cups. Bake for 20 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean). Cool on a wire rack.

5. For the frosting, combine powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and cream cheese in a small bowl. Stir until smooth. Use about 2 teaspoons to frost each cupcake.

Clinically Effective Ingredients & Doses

Many ingredients in supplements don’t have any scientifically validated benefits, and many ingredients that do are often underdosed to the point of irrelevance.

That’s why we only use the choice ingredients and precise doses shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.

Clinically Effective Doses

You need more than great ingredients to make great products—you also need proper doses. That’s why we use the precise doses of ingredients shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.

Natural Ingredients

“Natural” doesn’t always mean “better,” but in many cases, natural ingredients are superior to artificial ones for various reasons, including purity, safety, and efficacy.

That’s why all of our ingredients in all of our products come from plant and animal sources, including sweeteners, colors, and flavors.

Made in USA with Globally Sourced Ingredients

If you want to ensure the supplements you’re swallowing every day are safe and effective, you want products produced in the USA.

That’s why all of our supplements are made in America in NSF-certified and FDA-inspected facilities that operate in accordance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations.

Lab Tested

Did you know that supplements can contain dangerously high levels of toxins like lead, arsenic, and cadmium?

That’s why we test every ingredient of every supplement we produce for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and other contaminants and ensure they meet the strict purity standards set by the FDA.

Naturally Sweetened & Flavored

While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of these chemicals may indeed be harmful to our health.

That’s why all of our supplements are naturally sweetened and flavored and contain no artificial food dyes, fillers, or other unnecessary junk.

Security Check

Please click the checkbox below. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Some popular pre-workouts are all-natural. Some contain the right mix of high-quality ingredients. Some provide clinically effective doses. But only Pulse checks each of these boxes.

Pulse doesn’t just “contain natural ingredients''—every ingredient is naturally sourced from plants and animals. Pulse contains no artificial or synthetic substances of any kind.

Every serving of Pulse contains 15.1 grams of active ingredients that have been shown to be safe and effective in peer-reviewed scientific research.

Every active ingredient in Pulse is backed by published scientific studies that show benefits in healthy humans.

Pulse contains no harsh stimulants that wind you up and burn you out. Instead, it contains a 1:1 ratio of caffeine and L-theanine, which produces a smooth energy rush and comfortable comedown.

We carefully examined 508 pages of scientific research to find out exactly what should and shouldn’t be in a pre-workout supplement.

Every bottle of Pulse is guaranteed to provide exactly what the label claims and nothing else—no heavy metals, microbes, allergens, or other contaminants.

While these types of chemicals may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of them may indeed be harmful to our health. And that’s why we don’t put any of them into our products.

Before you buy a sports supplement, you should know that it's clean, safe, and transparent. And that's exactly what Labdoor's third-party testing and certification means.

It's hard to know for sure, but this probably makes Pulse the most-popular all-natural pre-workout supplement in the world.

If you don’t absolutely love this product, just let us know, and we’ll give you a full refund on the spot. No forms or return necessary.
