No egg cupcakes

no egg cupcakes

Every now and then I get in the mood to make cupcakes, however I am far from being a baker. So here’s my solution to making quick and simple cupcakes from an out of the box cake mix. It’s a tad bit healthier than following the regular ingredient list by taking out the extra cholesterol and fats eggs would have added to the recipe. The cupcakes rise as normal and come out super moist. I highly recommend giving this a try not only for cupcakes, but for muffins, and cakes too.

Ingredients:

• 1 box of your favorite cake mix that requires eggs and oil

• 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce for every egg required

• vegetable oil amount per cake package ingredients list

• filtered water amount per cake package ingredients list

Tools needed

• cupcake/muffin pan

• cupcake/muffin baking cups

• 1/4 cup measuring cup

• tablespoon

• mixing bowl

• whisk or big spoon

Directions

1. Preheat oven per cake package directions

2. Add the applesauce to the mixing bowl

3. Add the water and vegetable oil to the mixing bowl and stir ingredients

4. Add cake mix to the mixing bowl and stir ingredients until there are no lumps and mixture is smooth

5. Put cupcake baking cups into cupcake pan

6. Add approx 3 tablespoons of cake mixture into each cupcake baking cup

7. Place in oven and bake per cake package directions

8. Take out of oven and test for doneness by sticking a toothpick or butter knife in the middle of a cupcake, if it comes out clean they’re done

9. Remove cupcakes from pan

10. Let cool for at least 20 min before putting icing on
