Ingredients You’ll Need

Large eggs, at room temperature
Butter, for richness and flavor

Unsweetened almond milk, for moisture
Granulated sweetener, such as erythritol monk fruit sweetener, for sweetness without the guilt

How To Make:
Now, let’s walk through the simple steps to create these heavenly cupcakes:
Beat the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer or food processor, beat the eggs until they become pale, thick, and double in size.
Add the Wet Ingredients: Incorporate the sweetener, butter, cream cheese, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract into the beaten eggs. Blend until smooth and well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder. Then, add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and blend until a smooth batter forms.
Fill the Cupcake Liners: Pour the keto cupcake batter into muffin tins lined with cupcake liners, filling each liner about two-thirds full.
Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in a preheated oven and bake the cupcakes until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Prepare the Frosting: While the cupcakes cool, whip up a vanilla frosting by mixing butter and cream cheese until smooth, then gradually adding powdered sweetener and vanilla extract.
Storage Tips
Store your delectable cupcakes in the refrigerator to keep the frosting firm, especially if you don’t plan to enjoy them on the same day. You can also freeze them for up to three months, either plain or with the frosting added later.
