Ingredients

- 75 g 0% fat yogurt
- 100 g fresh strawberries
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 65 g plain/all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- sprinkle of salt optional
Frosting:
- 150 g Philadelphia lighest
- 2 tbsp 0 calorie powdered sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 30 g strawberry puree
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 180ºC (356ºF). Prepare a 6-count muffin tray with 6 cupcake liners and set aside.
- Make the strawberry puree by mashing the strawberries until it has been pureed. You can speed up the process by blending the strawberries until smooth and pureed. Set aside.
- Beat the eggs and stevia until light and fluffy. Add the yogurt, 70g of the strawberry puree, and vanilla and mix until well combined. Whisk in the flour and baking powder until smooth and lump-free.
- Divide the batter equally between the 6 cupcake liners filling them about 3/4 of the way and bake for 14-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cupcakes comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Make the frosting by whisking together the cream cheese, 0 calorie powdered sugar, the remaining 30g of strawberry puree and vanilla until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a nozzle.
- Frost the cooled cupcakes and garnish with dried strawberries before tucking in and enjoying!
Notes
*Stevia - The stevia I use is twice as sweet as sugar so I use half the amount of sugar this recipe would require (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.
