Lemonade Confetti Cupcakes

Adapted from: Skinny Taste

With so many birthdays in the past week, it was inevitable that we would find a delicious summer dessert to bake for a friend. This was the recipe we chose, light and sweet lemonade confetti cupcakes topped with sprinkles. They were a big hit in the clinic!

Ingredients:

• 1 18.25 oz box confetti cake mix, we used Betty Crocker
• 2 1/2 tsp powdered Crystal Light lemonade mix
• 1 cup water
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup applesauce
• 1/2 lemon, zest of
• sprinkles of choice, optional

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350° F. Line tins with 18-24 cupcake liners.

Mix water and lemonade powder. In a large bowl, combine boxed cake mix, lemonade mixture, applesauce, lemon zest, and oil. Using a mixer, stir until all ingredients are fully combined.

Pour batter into cupcake pans. Top each with sprinkles. Bake for 22 minutes, or you can insert a toothpick in the center of a cupcake to see if it comes out clean.

Let cool and serve!
