Red Velvet Cupcakes
Red Velvet Cupcakes
Aren’t these adorable? Doesn’t it make you feel better when you eat your oat bran and it’s cute? Well, so it doesn’t taste exactly like a red velvet cupcake but it’s as close as you’re going to get and visually you can’t even tell the difference! So I say, trick your mind into it!! I got some rhubarb delivered to my house today, so they’re next…
RED VELVET CUPCAKES
8 tablespoons of oat bran
2 egg whites or 1/2 cup egg white substitute
4 T canned pumpkin
2 T fat free sugar free vanilla yogurt
1 t baking powder
2 t unsweetened cocoa powder
2 t Splenda (I use 2 T zero calorie brown sugar)
1-2 T sugarfree chocolate pudding mix
1 t vanilla
a few drops of red food coloring
Frosting:
3 T fat free cream cheese
1 T fat free sour cream
splenda, to your liking
1/2 t vanilla
Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the pumpkin and eggs and whisk until smooth. Add vanilla. Divide the mixture equally between 12 mini muffins in a tin sprayed with olive oil spray
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Mix all the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and keep refrigerated until ready to use. Only pipe the frosting onto the muffins once they are completely cooled.
4 servings of oat bran
Delicious especially the ” icing”!
they’re super cute anyway. even if they’re only bran muffins!!
These look and sound yummy! I am from NZ so don’t have access to a lot of the US products, and was wondering about the SF instant pudding mix- does this not matter if it has carbs and fat, or do we look for the ones with low amounts of sugar/fat/carbs in them-how many grams of carb/sugar/fat would be tolerable? thanks!
You can get the pudding from amazon.com. Just look for sugar free or use dry fat free milk and more sweetener in its place.
OMG! These just might save my marriage! HAHAHA! Not that my marriage is in trouble but my husband keeps asking for red velvet cupcakes! He has a cupcake addiction. I am going to have to try these tomorrow (that is if I don’t already have all of the ingredients to make them tonight!)
well, they’re not cupcakes like we know cupcakes, but they’ll do in a pinch if you need to get your oat bran

Hi!
Is it really necessary to use the canned pumpkin?
I live in Brazil and we don’t have this ingredient in our stores
Is there a substitute for it or I could just take it off from the recipe?
Thanks
no, but can you find fresh?
