Recipe - Quick Tips - Fresca Cupcakes

So one of the most amazing things about being in weight watchers with friends is that you get to share some really awesome ideas. This first one is something Roni shared with us. It's such a quick easy idea and helps curb that sweet tooth.

Diet Soda Cupcakes - Fresca Edition

Ingredients:

1 Box of cake mix (in this case Classic White by Duncan Hines

20oz of diet soda (in this case Fresca, which is 0 everything)

This is the most simple recipe in existence. 

Grease or line your muffin pans.

Preheat your oven to 350.

First dump your cake mix in a mixing bow, or you bowl for your stand mixer.  Add in your 20 oz of soda.

Mix really well, making sure no dry ingredients get stuck to the bottom (I forget this part everytime). Once everything is incorporated well, grab a spoon and fill the cups about half way. This should fill about 24 cupcake tins. 

Now bake. This part is a little difficult. The box says 18-20 minutes. I find it, in my oven to be closer to 35 minutes. However my oven is standard apartment edition, and thus a piece of junk. But, start checking around 25. The best way to do this is by sticking a toothpick in the middle of your thickest cupcake. If the toothpick comes out clean, your cupcakes are done. 

Viola. You now have delicious cupcakes for the most minimal of points. Without any kind of topping you are looking at about 1 point a piece. With a light cool whip, more like 2 points. You can easily do this recipe as a full cake as well. With topping 1/10th of the cake is 2 points. I just personally prefer the cupcakes for portion control. Also there are so many possibilities of flavor combos out there. These are my favorite but I also did a chocolate mix with diet cherry Pepsi that was amazing as well. Play with your flavors, and I'll be sure to report what works on my end. 

Enjoy!
