Did you happen to catch Katherine and Sophie from Georgetown Cupcake on Dr. Oz? They shared their recipe for Georgetown Cupcake 50-Calorie Mini Carrot Cupcakes (click for the recipe). They are delicious and healthy mini cupcakes with a low-fat cream cheese frosting. Also, the DC Cupcake sisters announced that you can enter in a contest on Dr. Oz's website to win a trip to Washington DC for a personal baking lesson with them. To enter, click here.

One of my favorite people on the planet is Lisa Lillien, also known as Hungry Girl. This best selling cookbook writer, star on Cooking Channel and Food Network, and self-proclaimed "foodologist", sends out daily emails about healthy eating, healthy recipes, and so much more. Today's email from Hungry Girl was all about low-cal cupcakes. Recipes like Boston Cream Cupcakes (114 calories), Coconut Cream Fluffcakes (105 calories), and Banana SplitCakes (143 calories). 

So, if you love cupcakes but you don't love the fat and calories that go along with them, you need to try these recipes. 

Low-Fat Cupcakes! Hooray!

I try to eat as healthy as possible most of the time but I must leave room in my diet for an occasional cupcake. Cupcakes make me happy. So, if I make low-fat cupcakes I can eat more, right? Right. Well, the girls from Georgetown Cupcake (the Cupcake Sisters from DC Cupcakes) have shared a low-fat version of their Chocolate Ganache Cupcakes and I can't wait to try them. You can find the recipe, here. 

Thank you Katherine and Sophie for giving us a healthy version of these super rich, super chocolaty cupcakes!

P.S. You can find the naughty (aka regular) version of their Chocolate Ganache Cupcakes, here.
