Chocolate Cupcakes

The name says it all.

You guys totally rejected my cauliflower soup. I felt bad about that, so I decided to make it up to you.


I know. They are beautiful. Ready for the best part?

100 calories. Only 2 grams of fat.

Eat them. Love them. Don't feel guilty about them.

Here's what you need (from skinny taste)...


For the cupcake (this recipe made about 18 cupcakes for me):

1 package of Duncan Hines Chocolate fudge cake mix
1 package of fat free sugar free pudding mix
1 cup of pumpkin (make sure it's not pumpkin pie filling)
1 and 1/3 cups of water

For the chocolate glaze:

1/2 cup of confectioner's sugar
1 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp 1% milk
1/4 tsp of vanilla extract

Here's what you do...

1. Preheat your oven to 350 and line a muffin tray with cupcake liners
2. Mix water, cake mix, pudding mix and pumpkin in a bowl. Mix well.


3. Pour into cupcake tins and bake for about 40-45 minutes - until a toothpick comes out clean. This took awhile for me. They are really really soft, so if you can never get your toothpick perfectly clean, that's okay.
4. Meanwhile, mix sugar, cocoa powder, milk and vanilla in a bowl. This will not look like a lot, but it's not meant to be - it's not icing, it's a glaze.
5. Pour your glaze into a ziplock bag and cut a piece of the corner off. This will allow you to pour it over the cupcakes.
6. Once the cupcakes are done, let them cool for 15-20 minutes before you put on your glaze.
7. ENJOY!!

These are so freaking delicious. It STILL blows my mind that they are this good and not crazy unhealthy.

Make these this week. They will make your Mondays better :)
