Easy Vanilla Cupcakes

What’s not to love about sweet, fluffy cupcakes topped with a creamy frosting? This amazing version is ketogenic with all the satiety but none of the guilt!

CUPCAKES:

1 cup (4 ounces/115 g) almond flour 2 tablespoons coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1⁄2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup (8 fluid ounces/240 ml) heavy whipping cream
2 whole eggs
4 egg yolks
1⁄4 cup (11⁄4 ounces/36 g) erythritol or granulated or powdered stevia
1⁄2 teaspoon liquid stevia
1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

FROSTING:

1⁄2 cup (4 ounces/115 g) butter, softened
2 tablespoons coconut oil, softened
2 tablespoons granulated stevia or erythritol, ground in a small food processor until powdery 

 

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line 10 wells of a standard-size 12-well muffin pan with paper liners.

2. In a medium bowl, use a fork to stir together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt until well blended. Set aside.

3. Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer, whip the cream until sti peaks form. Add the whole eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the powdered sweetener, liquid stevia, and vanilla and mix to combine.

4. Using a wooden spoon, fold the flour mixture into the cream mixture and combine well.

5. Fill each cupcake liner about three-quarters full with the batter. Bake for 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 20 minutes before frosting.

6. While the cupcakes are cooling, make the frosting: Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer, whip together all the frosting ingredients until creamy and fluffy.

7. When the cupcakes are cool, scoop the frosting into a piping bag and pipe the frosting evenly onto the cupcakes. Alternatively, use a knife to spread frosting on each cupcake.

Tips

Almond flour is similar to almond meal, but is much more finely ground; you can make it at home by grinding raw almonds in a food processor to a near-powdery texture. Be careful not to process it for too long, though, or you’ll end up with almond butter!

Half of the carbs in this recipe are from the erythritol.
