Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 3 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Low-fat plain yogurt
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Skim milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, sugar, and honey together with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg whites to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the yogurt and vanilla extract until incorporated.
Add the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with the skim milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or frosting.
