Mango Cupcakes with a Diabetic Cupcakes recipe

These cupcakes are full of fruit and contain no sugar so they are a cupcake recipe for diabetics. I chose to try fresh mango as there are plenty in the shops at the moment. I made these for my mum as it is Mother's Day in the UK today and she is diabetic. I hope to try out lots more recipes for diabetic cupcakes in the future. I found that these were a different texture to the usual cupcakes recipe but they had a nice texture and flavour. I topped some off with raspberries.

Ingredients
Recipe 1.

5 oz self raising flour
4 oz butter
12 tablespoons of Splenda
2 medium eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 mango diced very small
1 teaspoon of baking powder

Recipe 2.
175 gm self raising flour
110 gm butter
12 tablespoons of Splenda
2 medium eggs
2 tablespoons of milk
1/2 mango diced very small
1 teaspoon of baking powder

Recipe 3.
1 1/4 cups self raising flour
1/2 cup butter or margarine
12 tablespoons of Splenda
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons of milk
1/2 mango diced very small
1 teaspoon of baking powder
Method

Mix together the butter or margarine with the eggs, adding the eggs one at a time. Add the flour and baking powder and mix gently. Add the milk and chopped mango. Add a small amount of extra milk if the mixture is very dry. Place into 15 to 18 small cupcake cases and cook for 12 minutes at gas 5, 375F or 190C. Large cupcake cases will be same temperature for 15 to 20 minutes and will make about 10 to 12. It depends on the amout of chopped mango.
Cool the cupcakes, top with cream cheese and slices of mango, sprinkle with coconut. Enjoy

the cupcakes with the strawberry and blueberry topping looks soo delicious. I was wondering if i didn't have low calorie sweetener to make these diabetic cupcakes what could I use instead?

Hi I am not realy sure of an alternative. I have tried grated carrot/parsnip and grated courgette/zucini. I think perhaps you need to experiment. I think in the 2nd world war they tried all sorts of alternatives to sugar in baking. I hear they used mashed potatoes instead of flour. Hope you have success and let me know of any ideas you get to share with others
