2-Point Lemon Cupcakes Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 box of Pillsbury sugar-free yellow cake mix
- 1 (12 oz) can of Sprite Zero
- Optional: A splash of lemon juice for extra lemon flavor
For the 0-Point Sugar-Free Glaze:
- 3/4 cup Swerve Confectioner’s “sugar”
- A few drops of lemon juice
- A splash of vanilla extract
- A tiny amount of water (just a few drops)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with 18 cupcake liners.
- Mix the cake mix with the can of Sprite Zero in a large bowl. If you want extra lemon flavor, add a splash of lemon juice.
- Pour the batter evenly into the 18 cupcake liners.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Cool the cupcakes on a wire rack.
For the Glaze:
- Mix the Swerve Confectioner’s “sugar,” lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a tiny amount of water in a small bowl. The consistency should be thick but pourable.
- Glaze the cupcakes lightly once they’ve cooled, allowing the glaze to set before serving.
