Servings: 12 cupcakes
Calories: 248kcal
Equipment
- 1 cupcake pan
- 12 cupcake liners
- 1 electric hand mixer
Ingredients
For Sour Cream Cupcakes
- ½ cup butter softened
- ¾ cup Keto sugar substitute
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup coconut milk
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- White chocolate bar optional garnish
For Vanilla Bean Frosting
- ½ cup butter softened
- 2 cups powdered Monkfruit Sweetener
- 6 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 vanilla bean or 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175°C). Fill cupcake pan with liners.
- Cream the butter and sweetener together in a large bowl using an electric hand mixer. Add the eggs one at a time and continue beating. Mix in the coconut milk, sour cream, and vanilla extract.
- Stir the dry ingredients in a separate mixing bowl, then slowly combine them into the egg liquid. Continue mixing until smooth.
- Divide evenly by pouring the batter into each cupcake well. Each cupcake is a generous ¼ cup of batter. Bake for 16-18 minutes until a cake tester (toothpick or knife) comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan before removing them.
- Make the frosting while the cupcakes cool. Beat butter in a medium mixing bowl until creamy. Add powdered sweetener ½ cup at a time. Continue mixing until smooth. Add cream and mix well to combine. If the frosting looks too stiff, add additional cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you see the desired texture. Finally, split the vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape out the seeds, and mix them into the frosting.
- Arrange on a wire rack or cake stand and frost or pipe with an icing bag.
