Serves: 12
5sp or 3pp each
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- ¼ cup white cake mix (you can add extra flour if you don't have cake mix)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ cup unsweetened apple sauce
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 egg whites (1/4 cup)
- ¼ cup vanilla 0% greek yogurt (or plain)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ cup skim milk
- ¼ cup sprinkles
- For the pudding icing
- 1 package fat free vanilla instant pudding mix
- 1 cup skim milk
- 1 cup fat free cool whip
- 12 sweet heart candies (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F, spray a regular 12 hole muffin pan. I used cupcake liners but I am going to suggest that you don't as they did stick.
- In a bowl, using an electric mixer beat together your apple sauce, sugar and egg whites. Stir in your yogurt, vanilla and ½ cup of milk.
- Mix in your flour, cake mix, baking soda and powder. Fold in your sprinkles.
- Fill your muffin cups about half way, bake in oven for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile make your pudding icing, whisk your pudding mix with 1 cup of milk, then add in your 1 cup of cool whip.
- Let cupcakes cool completely, then pipe your pudding icing out of a pastry bag or piping tool onto the cupcakes, top with a candy. Makes 12 cupcakes at 5sp each or 3pp. Best stored in the fridge.

Can I use funfetti cake mix instead of white? And if I do then do I still need all those sprinkles? Thanks!
Sure… and I would still add the sprinkles, one because the mix does’nt really have many and two, you can never have enough sprinkles lol..
