A friend, Stephanie, posted this recipe on Facebook and it looks yummy and festive. I thought many of you mom's might like to try it for Valentine's Day. Here's her post:
This is a recipe I found in my Runner's World magazine actually. I made them as a practice to see how good they were & had to throw some away because otherwise we would have eaten them ALL. They are delicious!!! The recipe actually came from the owners of a NYC bakery. Also, here are the nutrition facts per cupcake: 290 calories, 35g carbs, 3 g protein, and 16g fat.
