skinny oreo cupcakes

I have been trying to watch what I eat, counting calories and all those terrible things.  I thought at first, "hey, maybe I will cut out my sugar and then I won't have to count as much."  Um......that lasted about a day.  So, I decided that I will keep eating sugar, just not as much.  I started looking for low calorie recipes and I found this one on Six Sisters website.  I made these today for dessert, and I can tell you that THEY ARE AMAZING!  Combined with how they taste and how easy they are to make, they will be a go to recipe for a long time.  They can also be made with different combinations.
