Thank you for caring to share this fabulous recipe! I first tried exactly according to the recipe and then tried playing with it. All three batches turned out deliciously. All of my cupcakes rose perfectly, no issues at all. Yummy! I will try to post the sub-creation recipe on this site. Stay tuned: Fresh Strawberry Icelandic Skyr Yogurt Cupcakes!

These were good but I could of done without the chocolate in the middle. I think next time I will just put walnuts on the top. I did a little less sugar then a cup and instead of oil I did 1/2 cup of apple sauce. Baked 25 minutes. You can tell they have no egg in it. I loved the crunch around the edge.

Such a great tasting cupcake. They didn't rise as much as I was hoping, but that may be because I ran out of tin liners, and therefore they were directly in the muffin tin. Either way, with something this good, one bite and you're sold! Topped with a peanut butter frosting. Oh, and I omitted the chocolate out of personal preference. Thank you, I'll definitely use again!

Yummy! Talk about getting your sweet fix. These were great. I followed the recipe exactly and the chocolate chips definitely add a surprise factor. Made for Fall PAC 2009.
