Source of Recipe
Rachel Rudel, R.D.
List of Ingredients
1 c. bran cereal
1 c. water
2 1/2 tsp. (or 8 packets) sugar substitute
egg substitute (equivalent to one egg)
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. chocolate syrup
1 Tbs. lemon juice
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 cup cocoa
2 tsp. (or 6 packets) sugar substitute
2 Tbs. instant non-fat dry milk
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
Topping
chocolate icing
reduced-fat Oreos or other chocolate sandwich cookie
gummy worms (these can be sugar-free)Recipe
Place bran, water, 2 1/2 tsp. sugar substitute, egg substitute, canola oil, vanilla, chocolate syrup, and lemon juice in mixer bowl. Mix lightly and let stand for 30-45 minutes. Combine flour, soda, cocoa, 2 tsp. sugar substitute, dry milk, cinnamon and salt and stir to blend well. Add flour mixture to the bran mixture and mix at medium speed until well blended. Line muffin tins with paper liner (or spray). Spoon batter into 12 muffin tins. Bake at 375º for 15-20 minutes, or until cupcakes spring back when touched.
While cupcakes are baking, crush bag of Oreos or other chocolate sandwich cookie into little pieces. When cupcakes have cooled, spread icing on cupcakes. Sprinkle the crushed Oreos on top. Place one or two gummy worms on each cupcake and sprinkle with more crushed topping (this makes it look like they are "crawling" out of the dirt).
