Biggest Loser 100 calorie cupcakes

So we were watching Biggest Loser the other night, and they taught the contestants how to make 100 calorie cupcakes.  My ears perked up, because as you all know, I'm a little obsessed :).  I tried these today and made a few adjustments, but they were really yummy!

Ingredients:

5 egg whites
pinch of salt
3 T. honey
2 T. vanilla extract
1/4 c. nonfat greek yogurt
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1 t. baking powder

Frosting:

1 c. nonfat cream cheese
1 c. fresh raspberries (or I think strawberries would be good too!)

1. Preheat oven to 325
2. Beat egg whites until they begin to hold their shape
3. Whip in salt and honey until the whites hold a soft peak, then add vanilla.
4. Fold in yogurt
5. In another bowl, combine flour and baking powder and mix
6. Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients a little at a time
7. Fill lined cupcake tins 2/3 of the way full
8. Bake for 15-20 minutes

For frosting:
1. Puree berries and fold into cream cheese.
2. Put a little dollap on top of each cupcake.

* So I thought the frosting was really tart.  I sprinkled a little powdered sugar on top to make it a little sweeter and I thought it was really good.  The cupcakes are really light and fluffy.  Mmmm.
