Redsie's Lemon Yogurt Cupcakes, (Light Version) image

Redsie kindly let me change her scrumptious Recipe #235204 around to be low cal, low carb, low fat, good for diabetics while still moist, delicious and bursting with flavor. I added 1 cup of cranberries to make up the volume that i lose by substituting splenda but you can leave it out.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
