Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup sweetener (erythritol or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup finely grated carrots

Frosting

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup sweetener (erythritol or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and sweetener. Add the eggs and grated carrots, then mix thoroughly until a smooth batter forms, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  2. Bake the Cupcakes: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and evenly distribute the batter among them. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow the cupcakes to cool completely.
  3. Make the Frosting: In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Frost the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are fully cooled, spread or pipe the cream cheese frosting evenly on top of each cupcake. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure the cupcakes are completely cooled before frosting to prevent the cream cheese from melting.
  • Finely grate the carrots to ensure they incorporate well into the batter and keep the texture moist.
  • Store frosted cupcakes in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for freshness.
  • Feel free to add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra flavor.
  • Use a keto-friendly sweetener that measures like sugar for best results.
