Low Carb Vanilla Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting. Brightened with the slight tang of buttermilk, these classic low carb vanilla cupcakes are topped with a luxurious sugar-free cream cheese frosting, delivering just the right amount of sweetness to this fun dessert. What’s even better is that they are low carb and perfect for any ketogenic diet.
In a medium bowl whisk together coconut flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center of dry mixture. Add eggs, vanilla extract, stevia (if adding), olive oil and almond milk. Mix until ingredients are well combined.
The low carb cupcake batter is made with a blend of almond flour and coconut flour plus a generous amount of vanilla extract. It has a moist pound cake feel - none of that dry, brittle texture you get with shop-bought cupcakes.
Lemon Cupcakes – Add 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the batter. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice to the cream cheese frosting. These keto cupcakes have a lovely vanilla flavor, and are so moist, fluffy and with a tender crumb, you won't believe they are low carb and sugar free!
