So these Sugar-Free Vanilla Cream Snack Cakes are a new family favorite. I’m sure you have noticed that I make a lot of snack cakes and different snack treats around our house.
Like these
or these
By making these at home my husband has less desire to buy the boxed versions that are so full of chemicals and other nasty ingredients.
We enjoy these and don’t have to worry about blood sugar spikes or bad tummy aches. Yes, I get horrible tummy aches if I eat an off plan sweet.
These Vanilla Cream Snack Cakes are a little different from the ones I have posted in the past. They use the new THM Baking Blend instead of beans. I really like the texture of these snack cakes so will be remaking some of the others using the wonderful product. (I also know how we are all patiently waiting for it to come back in stock. When I run out I use this recipe for FP Easy Mix from Raye’s Place )
I also revamped the cream filling to include the new THM Gentle Sweet, but you can also use the other recipe which calls for THM Sweet Blend, or make a new one 🙂 I love seeing tweaks to recipes.
What’s your favorite memory of Twinkies? Personally, my mom sent other types of snacks with us in our lunches because she was feeding 4 of us. It wasn’t until I had my own children that I packed them into their lunches.
If you don’t have a “Twinkie” pan these can be made in a regular cupcake pan, it is a smaller recipe so it may only give you 10 cupcakes instead of 12.

these look yummy. I think however, that a step was missed? Where you add dry ingredients to wet? Am I just not seeing that step?
