Tips & Ideas:

For a treat, I make low-sugar cupcakes and muffins. Then I top them with fat-free sugar-free frosting. To make the frosting, I combine a package of fat-free cream cheese with a little vanilla, cornstarch and sugar-substitute. This makes enough frosting to top 24 cupcakes or muffins.

Cinnamon Mocha Cupcakes

Like to end a meal with a little something sweet? My chocolaty cupcakes might do the trick. They don't make a huge batch, so you can be sure to share a few and enjoy the rest yourself!
—Edna Hoffman, Hebron, Indiana

INGREDIENTS:

1/4 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, room temperature
3 tablespoons buttermilk
1 cup chocolate frosting
3/4 teaspoon instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon hot water

DIRECTIONS:

In a small mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt, baking powder and cinnamon; add to creamed mixture alternately with coffee and buttermilk.

Coat muffin cups with cooking spray or use paper liners; fill half full with batter. Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

Place the frosting in a bowl. Dissolve coffee granules in hot water; stir into frosting until smooth. Frost cupcakes. Yield: 8 cupcakes.
