Yummy Keto Red Velvet Cupcakes with Almond Flour Mobile Featured Image

Ingredients for the muffins:
  cup buttermilk (2.9 fl oz/85ml)
  cup soft butter (2.6 oz/75g)
  cup erythritol (2.6 oz/75g)
 ½ cup defatted almond flour (2.3 oz/65g)
 ¼ cup coconut flour (1.1 oz/30g)
 2 eggs
 1 ½ tsp unsweetened baking cacao powder
 1 tsp red food coloring
 ½ tsp vanilla extract
 1 pinch salt
Ingredients for the cream cheese frosting:
 ½ cup full-fat cream cheese (3.5 oz/100g)
 ½ cup powdered erythritol (2.1 oz/60g)
 3 ½ tbsp soft butter (1.8 oz/50g)
Preparing the muffins:
1

Preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C.
 

2

Add the soft butter, erythritol and vanilla extract to a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer for approx. 1-2 minutes until the butter is pale and fluffy.
 

3

Add the remaining ingredients for the muffin batter to the bowl and mix with a spatula until no chunks of flour are left.
 

4

Add 6 paper or silicone muffin liners into a muffin pan.
 

5

Distribute the muffin batter evenly among the muffin liners.
 

6

Bake for approx. 20-25 minutes in your preheated oven.

☝︎ Every oven is different, that's why the baking time in your oven might vary a bit from ours.

Keep an eye on the muffins, as almond flour tends to burn a bit faster than regular all-purpose wheat flour.

☝︎ You can test if your muffins are done with the "toothpick test": prick the middle of the muffin with a toothpick - if it comes out "clean" and without any chunks of dough stuck on the toothpick, they're good to go.
If not, you should leave them in the oven for a few more minutes.
 

7

Let the cupcakes cool completely before moving on to the next step.
 

Preparing the cream cheese frosting:
8

Beat the butter with the powdered erythritol until you get a fluffy pale mixture.
 

9

Fold the cream cheese into the beaten butter until you get a smooth and even mass.
 

10

Fill the cream cheese frosting into a piping bag and decorate your cupcakes.
 

11

Place the red velvet cupcakes in your fridge for at least 30 minutes before enjoying them.
 

Storage:
12
