The other day my boys and I felt like we need something....something....We decided to make some CHOCOLATE cupcakes.
My older son is Type 1 diabetic so I try to make my baking low sugar and diabetic friendly whenever I can.
Since we were making his favorite CUPCAKES I decided to go for low sugar version.... I knew he won't be able stop at just one....the something - something craving was pretty big.
I found a great recipe for Low Sugar CHOCOLATE & CREAM CHEESE CUPCAKES few months ago in one of his diabetic magazines

Drooling....
Yum! Like the low sugar idea!
They look so good :O) You come up with some good ones.
I have one for you! Simmer 1 15.5 oz can of black beans in a pot with 1/2 can of water for 50 mins or so.
When the beans are done throw them in the blender and puree. Add that mixture to a Brownie Mix and you have a high protein, fiber, low sugar snack (19g of sugar).
These are the best and NOBODY will know they're in there. Let me know after you've tried them.
BTW, that astronomy set is an awesome deal hope you are able to snag it :O)
Yum, these look great! ;)
This is awesome. I have been looking for some low sugar/no sugar baked goods for a friend of mine. So glad I lucked up on your blog!
Like the low sugar idea!

My dad is diabetic too so my mom always makes her cakes with reduced sugar and the icing too but we all agree that the cakes still taste just as good. The cream chesse makes these sound delicious! I'm just stopping by for Follow Friday, this is my first time participating. I've found a lot of great blogs that I've never seen before.
