It’s amazing what people are doing with cupcakes these days.
Forget plain old vanilla and chocolate confections–think Key Lime to Vanilla, Banana Salted Caramel, Pineapple Updside Down, and S’mores…and that’s only the beginning.
It’s also amazing how diet-friendly cupcakes can be.
Sure, some are more calorie dense than others, but as you’ll see, many of these recipes are light enough to fit just about anybody’s macros.
So, fire up the oven, break out the muffin pan, and let’s get baking. 🙂
Enjoy!
No matter what time of year it is, citrus cupcakes are in season. Adding a little citrus juice and zest is an easy way to make naturally flavored cupcakes. Key lime is great for the summer, especially with a splash of tequila in the frosting – and you’ll have leftover buttercream after frosting a dozen cupcakes.
This recipe can also be readily adapted into orange or lemon cupcakes. When the cold seasons roll around, a few dashes of cinnamon and nutmeg are all you need to make this recipe festive.

Get the RecipeBelieve it or not, these Oreo cupcakes are even better than the classic sandwich cookie.
The recipe starts by mixing up a batter for black magic chocolate cake, which uses coffee to enhance the cocoa powder, and then tossing crushed cookies in the mix. The frosting isn’t exactly like the cream center, but that’s pretty much just sugar. Instead white chocolate buttercream goes on top to upgrade the Oreo experience.
Of course, cookie crumbs or even a whole cookie will make an excellent garnish.

Get the RecipeWhen you think of healthy dessert, carrot cake probably comes to mind. Yet those vegetables can fool you into eating a lot of fat and sugar if you don’t watch out for the other ingredients.
Because carrots are naturally sweet, these shouldn’t need as much added sugar as other cupcakes, and the flavor holds up well if you use a low-calorie alternative sweetener like xylitol instead.
For a nutritious topping, mix together cream cheese and vanilla protein powder; sweeten to taste.
