HEALTHY LOW-CALORIE CHOCOLATE CHIP CUPCAKES: PERFECT FOR YOUR NEXT PARTY!

If you’re looking for an easy, low-calorie & healthy, yet impressively pretty & yummy dessert to bring to your next party (or make your family!), (or to treat yourself!) these Healthy Chocolate Chip Cupcakes Recipe can just be your answer!

Cupcakes For Parties:

…You can tell I’m in a cupcakey-phase lately! And… yes: I just recently posted the Healthy Banana Cupcakes and the Healthy Apple Cupcakes Recipe!

Oh, and also this this Blueberry Cupcakes Recipe (my favorite so far!)But here’s the reason why I love cupcakes so much:

Whenever you need to make an impressive, yet easy dessert, a cupcakes recipe are your best friend!

Make the dough. Bake it. As it’s being baked whip your frosting. Frost the cupcakes. And… done! Just how I like it! (as any other busy-lazy person would, right? ) 🙂

And you even have enough time to make yourself a soothing cup of coffee, pretty up and take a few deep breaths before heading out (or hosting) that party! 🙂

The Chocolate Chip Cupcakes:

So now that we’ve agreed that making cupcakes is one of the best home-made treats to make to your next event, let’s talk about these Healthy Chocolate Chip Cupcakes Recipe!

This recipe is similar to the other cupcake recipes in many ways (they’re healthy and low-calorie just as the ones I made before!) But unlike with the Healthy Banana Cupcakes and the Healthy Apple Cupcakes, I wasn’t adding any fruit to these cuties!So I had to rethink a few ingredients to come up with a recipe that is nutritious and light, yet tastes good enough to not let you down when you bring them to that party!

But just as with many other baked goodies, I called my favorite greek yogurt to the rescue, and as usual – it did the wonders that it does!Not only I used it to make my Healthy Fat-Free Frosting…

As one of the dough ingredients, the greek yogurt added both the volume, the healthy proteins and nutrients and the moistness to it, while keeping out all the unnecessary fat and calories!

So, what do you say? Let’s get to baking shall we? 🙂
