Pink Lemonade Cupcakes

Summer Time is usually full of fun adventures!! Swimming pools, Amusement Parks, cookouts and just fun in general! I LOVE drinking lemonade with friends and family sitting around talking!

In looking for more healthy options to sweets, I found this yummy recipe on one of my new favorite websites! www.skinnytaste.com It is a fun website with lots of wonderful ideas for all kinds of recipes! Hope you enjoy!

Pink Lemonade Confetti Cupcakes
You will need: 1 box confetti cake mix (I used Duncan Hines)
2 1/2 tsp powdered sugar-free pink lemonade mix
1 cup water
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
lemon zest from half of a lemon
2 drops pink food coloring (optional)
confetti Sprinkles,(optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake tins with paper liners. Stir together the water and pink lemonade powder. Combine the cake mix, pink lemonade mixture, applesauce, lemon zest, food coloring and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer, mix until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Pout the batter into the prepared cupcake pans. Add sprinkles if using and bake in the oven for 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcakes comes out clean. Cool completely on wire racks before serving. We didn't use any icing.
