One of my favorite things about what I do is getting to know readers through comments.
Over time, I even get to form friendly relationships with readers who become friends in emails. Some of you have even promised to let me come and live with you. You did! OK… maybe you didn’t, but I could hear it in the longing of your words. (Well, the unspoken ones in the parenthetical commentaries of your souls, anyway. Or not).
Jeanette is one totally fun person I’ve been really lucky to get to know a little bit!
Her caramel cupcakes look divine, and she’s bringing them to our Friday party here at Your Lighter Side.
A few quick recipe ruminations:
- You can find oat fiber at places like amazon.com, netrition.com and honeyvillegrain.com.
- You can find caramel flavoring at larger stores like Super WalMart.com in the aisle with spices.
- Table cream is generally found either in the refrigerated section of the store, or with the evaporated/sweetened condensed milks in the baking aisle.
- If you don’t have Ideal Brown Sugar Sweetener (also the co-Kroger Brand), you can sub with any brown sugar sweetener equivalent of 4 Tbsp of brown sugar.
- Jeanette says this amazing dessert makes 12 servings at a very respectable 4.4 carbs each. So dig in.
- Jeanette just contacted me to let me know she used baking powder and not soda. Please note that change (the correction has been made in the recipe).

That’s looks heavenly!! I love caramel and now I’ll have to try these!
This looks so good methinks I’ll have to make it this weekend!
You can come live with me! As long as you do all of the cooking :))
Hey. I’ll cook if you clean.
I’m not familiar with table cream, is it different from regular heavy whipping cream?
Hi, LaWanna! Table cream (also called media crema) is a light cream that won’t curdle when cooked. It is one I’m just discovering, too. It’s sold in the refrigerated dairy section, usually with the specialty cheeses and guacamoles, though it can also be found with the specialty canned milks in the baking aisle. I also wonder if it’s in the ethic food aisle with the horchata and Mexican herbs/seasonings? Here’s a WalMart link of a can for a visual: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Nestle-For-The-Table-Cream-7.6-fl-oz/10804333
Thanks for the information.. Do you think regular heavy cream could be substituted for the table cream in this recipe? Table cream is not availabe here in my small town.
I would think so, sure!
Thanks so much for sharing! I hope everyone loves it as much as we did. The molasses adds 5 carbs per teaspoon, but it is so worth it!
And yes, Jamie, you may come live with us! I must confess I use this really cool site to make all the BEST recipes without SUGAR. It’s run by an eclectic super woman named Jamie, and her “shoot from the hip” style and uncanny ability to make amazing food has helped me drop 66 pounds! Woot! Woot!
66 pounds is phenomenal! You are awesomeness personified in a small-size. I’ll be right over. 😛
JEANETTE,

For the cupcakes (making 12) they are about 137 calories without icing. If you include the icing, it’s 233 calories for the cupcake.
