Healthy Cupcakes?

This post is going to be a quick one because I'm leaving in an hour for Seattle! I love Seattle, I really do. I find it lame that it seems like the general USA doesn't consider it a "real" city. I mean, I loved New York and Chicago and the little bit of LA I've seen, but Seattle? I mean, it's got the Space Needle, the original Starbucks, the Pike Place...

Seriously. Seattle OWNS.

I spent most of this morning exercising and making cupcakes for tonight. I made mini vanilla almond mint chocolate cupcakes. Well, the cupcakes are vanilla, with almond frosting and half a thin mint candy and chocolate sprinkles :)

Even better than that? They're healthier than normal cupcakes.



The only issue I have with these is that if you don't get enough cooking spray into the paper cupcake cups the cupcakes REALLY stick to the cups because there isn't as much fat in them as there are in normal cupcakes. Although, I may have mitigated the "healthy"-ness of the cupcakes by putting candy and sprinkles on them. Whatever. I mean, they're cupcakes, right?
