How to Make Low Fat And Low Cholesterol Chocolate Cupcakes

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup low-fat vinaigrette salad dressing (look for one with minimal added sugar and oil), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fill the prepared muffin cups about two-thirds full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
