Green-Tea Cupcakes
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil butter spread (such as Smart Balance)
- 1/2 cup granular no-calorie sucralose sweetener (such as Splenda)

- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons green tea powder (matcha)
- 1/2 cup nonfat milk
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Grease 12 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners.
- Beat the butter, vegetable oil butter spread, sweetener, and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color.
- Add the room-temperature egg whites one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next.
- Beat in the vanilla and almond extracts with the last egg.
- Combine cake flour, baking powder, and green tea powder in a small bowl.
- Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing until just incorporated.
