In the spirit on Christmas giving, I thought that I would share one of my favourite recipes for everyone that's worried they're going to turn into a ham by new years.
They're not sugar free, but what did you expect? You can't have everything. But the fat content is less than one tenth of a chocolate chip cookie, so pig on these instead and be happy. Oh, and my kids love them too.
Big Fat Zero Cupcakes
3 eggs
1/2 cup Castor Sugar
3/4 cup Flour
1 Tbsp Boiling Water
1/2 tsp Vanilla Essence
Preheat oven to 180C (that's 350F for the americans)
Use an electric mixer to beat sugar and eggs together until pale and thick. Mixture should leave a trail when you lift out the beater and be nearly three times the original size. I turn mine on high and leave it for 15mins which works perfectly.
Using a metal spoon, fold in half the flour, then once incorporated, fold in remaining flour.
Lastly add water and vanilla.
Spoon mixture in patty cases and bake 10 - 15mins or until golden and springy when gently pressed.
Ice when cold. Makes about 40 mini cupcakes.
There you go, everyone have a great holiday
