Instructions: Keto Chocolate Cupcakes
Step 1: Prepare the Cupcakes
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter (or coconut oil), almond milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
Step 2: Make the Frosting
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until creamy.
- Add cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth and fluffy.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a bit more heavy cream to achieve the desired consistency.
Step 3: Frost the Cupcakes
- Once the cupcakes are completely cool, use a piping bag or a spatula to frost them.
- Optionally, garnish with keto-friendly chocolate shavings or crushed nuts for extra texture.
Tips for the Best Keto Cupcakes
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the richest chocolate flavor.
- Let the cupcakes cool fully before frosting to prevent melting.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
