Vanilla Cupcakes

Vanilla cupcakes

Ingredients:

 1 and 2/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup  granulated sugar

1/2 cup  unsalted butter, melted

2 large egg whites

1/4 cup  vanilla Greek yogurt (or plain; or regular yogurt; or even sour cream) 

3/4 cup milk

3 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in the microwave. Whisk in sugar - mixture will be gritty. Whisk in egg whites, yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
3. Slowly mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no lumps remain. Batter will be thick.
4. Divide batter among 12 cupcake liners (or 24 mini) and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Bake for 8-9 minutes if making mini cupcakes. Allow to cool.
5. Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days and in the refrigerator up to 7.
