I found this recipe online a while ago, and i absolutely love it! All of my family loves them and you will too! They are low-fat cupcakes made with white whole wheat flour and fresh strawberries.

The frosting is amazing all on it's own, i got it from Bethenny Frankel's website Bethenny.com. She is an amazing chef who focuses on healthy cooking and baking.
