Cupcake Alert! 30-Calorie Frozen Yogurt Cupcakes

Let's talk about these for a second... when I first came across them on the interwebs, I was doubtful. I mean, look at them. They're beautiful, but 30 calories? Come on, folks.


Let me just set the record straight. They are freaking delicious. And anyone who knows me KNOWS how I feel about my cupcakes. So at this point you're probably thinking, "Alright Alison, cut to the chase. How do I make these bit size delights?" Well let me show you...

Here's what you'll need:
  • 9 ounces vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 8 strawberries
  • Half a ripe banana
  •  teaspoon mini chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS
1.    Place 12 mini silicone baking cups on the top of an ice cream tray or small wooden cutting board.
2.    Fill each of the cups halfway with yogurt, using one six-ounce container.
3.    Puree the strawberries and banana. Add a small spoonful to each cup, so no white is showing.
4.    Add a dollop of yogurt to each cup using the last three ounces of yogurt. Sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips on top of each cup. Gently place the tray in the freezer for at least an hour.
5.    Remove from the freezer and allow to thaw for 10 minutes before eating.
Makes 12 servings. Check out the nutritional serving for one mini frozen yogurt cupcake.
