Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large egg whites
- 0.25 cup skim milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the non-fat plain Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the egg whites into the yogurt mixture and whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the skim milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until all ingredients are combined; avoid over-mixing.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
