Fluffy, moist chocolate cupcakes topped with a velvety, smooth, thick chocolate frosting!

You only need a handful of ingredients, 1 bowl and a few minutes to whip up your own batch of mouth-watering low calorie chocolate cupcakes.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 40 g stevia or granulated sweetener*
- 75 g full-fat yogurt or greek yogurt
- 38 g all-purpose flour
- 23 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1½ tsp baking powder
Frosting
- 100 g full-fat yogurt
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp 0 calorie icing sugar
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 180°C (356°F). Line a 6-count muffin tray with 6 cupcake liners.
- Make the frosting by mixing the yogurt, cocoa powder and 0 calorie icing sugar until smooth. Set aside in the fridge.
- Using an electric hand whisk, beat together the egg and stevia until light and fluffy. Mix in the yogurt and then sift in the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. Fold until well combined.
- Using a medium sized ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly between 6 cupcake liners filling them about 3/4 of the way. Bake for 14-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out with a few crumbs. Cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
- Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a nozzle and pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes before enjoying!

Notes
*Stevia - The stevia I use is twice as sweet as sugar so I use half the amount of sugar this recipe would requires (80g). If the sweetener you use is a 1:1 ratio to sugar then you would use 80g. Adjust the sweetener according to the sweetener you're using.
