Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large egg whites
- 0.25 cup skim milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk the non-fat plain Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Add the egg whites into the yogurt mixture and whisk until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the skim milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until all ingredients are combined; avoid over-mixing.
Step 6
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
