Brownie Cupcakes

I grew up in my pàrents’ bàkery, which might explàin why I don’t like frosting. These brownie cupcàkes àre just my style! They come out shiny on top ànd àre greàt without frosting.

We have chatted about all the fun recipes out there that reduce your sugar intake…but don’t taste like cardboard:) Some of the “low cal” recipes call for some funky ingredients. Not this one….not one thing artificial in this cupcake:) This is a recipe that I tried a few months back…and it is a huge hit with everyone in my house. I have really started to keep a closer eye on the sugar we are eating….and this recipe is low sugar but high on taste. Even if you aren’t on Weight Watchers…this is a great treat to make.
