What Are Keto Cupcakes Made Of?

This is a great question for two reasons. First, it’s important to know that ratio of almond to coconut flour in order to achieve the best consistency. Second, real cupcakes are just so darn good, so can you even replicate them in a low carb version?

I’ll start by saying that most keto baked goods use a mix of almond flour and coconut flour. Almond flour alone can be too soft and not absorbent enough to stay together after baked, while coconut flour is very absorbent and can often result in a dry crumbly baked good.

The next reason to know what keto cupcakes are made of is to address the age old question of “is it even good if it’s low carb?” Well, i’m here to tell and show you (in the video below) that low carb cupcakes will leave you satisfied and forgetting about the high carb sugar bombs you used to eat. They are healthier for you and your family and still come out moist, dense, rich and cupcake shaped. We won’t steer you wrong!

Cool Before Frosting!

I know it’s hard to wait, but this step is very crucial. If your cupcakes are not fully cooled the frosting will melt off and create a huge mess! This would be very unfortunate, especially if you took the time to pipe the frosting on to the cupcakes like seen in the photos!

You can quicken the cooling process by putting the baked cupcakes in the fridge or freezer, which is what we often do. You can even make these in advance, store the cupcakes and frosting separately in the fridge, and assemble right before being served.
