Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • measuring spoons and cup
  • hand or stand mixer
  • wooden spoon & rubber spatula
  • cupcake tins
  • foil cupcake liners

Ingredients  

  • 1 box Pillsbury sugar free yellow cake mix
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 5 egg whites OR 3 whole eggs
  • c plain non fat yogurt
  • 1 c water
  • 1 large banana or 2 small ones
  • 1 4 oz can of crushed pineapple, drained
  • c chopped walnuts

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉
  • Place a foil liner in each cupcake well.
  • Mash the banana with a fork. Open and drain the pineapple. Measure out the walnuts. Set these ingredients aside.
  • Place the cake mix in a mixing bowl.
  • Add the cinnamon to the cake mix and stir to incorporate it into the dry mix.
  • Add the egg whites, plain non fat yogurt and water to the cake mix. Use a hand or stand mixer to beat all of the ingredients together.
  • Add the banana, pineapple and walnuts to the cake batter and fold them in so they are uniformly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Use a large scooper, and fill the foil lined cupcake tins. There should be enough batter for 24 cupcakes.
  • Place the cupcake tins in the oven to bake. Check the cupcakes at 20 min. You are looking for a toothpick to come out clean or the top to spring back when lightly pressed. If they are not quite done, bake an additional 2-3 min. My cupcakes baked for a total of 22 min.
  • Remove the cupcakes from the oven when done and let sit for 10 min. Transfer the cupcakes to a cooling rack to thoroughly cool, about an hr.
  • Serve the cupcakes and enjoy. Freeze the leftover cupcakes.
