Stir to combine.In a seperate bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add to wet mixture. Blend until combined.Divide mixture into 18 muffin tins, bake until toothpick inserted into middle of cupcake comes out clean. About 18-20 minutes.Allow to cool 10 min. Remove from pan and cool completely.While cupcakes are baking, prepare icing. It is best to add the juice to the sugar a little at a time, so it doesn't get too runny. (If you do it the other way you have to add more sugar and that ups the calories) Whisk until smooth. After the cupcakes have cooled, top each one with 1 tsp. of icing.Serving Size: 18Number of Servings: 18Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LILYEGG.
