Vanilla Cupcakes are one of my children’s all time favourites, (actually I love these too!)
Every birthday that’s what they ask for, so out comes the trusty mixer and a double batch of these amazing sugar free vanilla cupcakes gets whipped up and made into either vanilla cupcakes, mini vanilla cupcakes or one large vanilla cake, depending on the wishes of the birthday boy or girl.
I love this recipe, it is simple and quick, using ingredients that most of us have on hand, but delivers a moist light fluffy vanilla cupcake that still tastes great a few days later, if you happen to have any left!! (if I hide them!!!)
While many vanilla cupcake recipes use only egg whites, I decided (after lots of cupcake trials) that I preferred the flavor that the whole egg gives to the cupcakes, plus I hate the idea of wasting food!!!
I know, I know !!!! you can use the yolk for another recipe, but more often than not, I put the extra yolks in the fridge with great intentions of using them, only to end up having to feed them to the dog!!!
Not the way I want to use up my lovely free range eggs, that my chickens work so hard to produce.
If you are wanting a whiter vanilla cupcake you can choose to just use the egg whites.
