Just as with "fat-free" foods, "gluten-free" doesn't mean healthy. Sorry to be a nudge here, but there is no nutritional information accompanying this recipe. All those egg yolks raised a red flag for me so I ran the ingredients through a calculator. These cupcakes come in at 373 calories each. The typical grocery store/box mix vanilla cupcake with no frosting runs maybe 250. This recipe also has 19 grams of fat (46% of which is saturated)- 30% of the daily recommended fat. Compare that to the typical cupcake with less than 9 grams of fat. And that's *without* the frosting. Adding in 2T of a typical buttercream frosting adds another 100 calories and perhaps 5g - 9g of fat. Panera vanilla cupcakes with frosting are the only other ones in this league at 450 cal and 27g of fat. Keep these yummy little devils - and they are gooood!! - to an occasional treat! Here's the complete rundown for this recipe (cupcake only, no frosting): calories 373 % Daily Value * Total Fat 19 g 30 % Saturated Fat 9 g 46 % Monounsaturated Fat 6 g Polyunsaturated Fat 3 g Trans Fat 0 g Cholesterol 0 mg 0 % Sodium 504 mg 21 % Potassium 59 mg 2 % Total Carbohydrate 47 g 16 % Dietary Fiber 6 g 22 % Sugars 24 g Protein 4 g 7 % Vitamin A 0 % Vitamin C 0 % Calcium 5 % Iron 11 %
