How to Make Keto Vanilla Cupcakes

1. Whisk together the butter, sweetener, egg, milk, vanilla, vinegar, stevia extract, and almond extract in a large bowl.
2. The mixture will look lumpy and curdled; this is fine.
3. Whisk in the almond flour, golden flaxseed meal, tapioca flour, baking powder, salt, and psyllium husk powder to combine.
4. The batter will be thick.
5. Immediately scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tray, and let it rest for 2 minutes.
6. Bake until the cupcakes are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 18 to 20 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool. If desired, frost them with Keto Vanilla Buttercream Frosting.

How to Store Vanilla Cupcakes

If you leave these cupcakes unfrosted, store them in an airtight food storage container at room temperature for up to 3 days. After that, move them to the fridge and store them for up to 4 days more.

If you frost these cupcakes, store them in an airtight food storage container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving so the buttercream can soften.

Variations on This Recipe

• Swap out the extracts. Instead of vanilla and almond extract, use any extract or flavoring you like.
• Make it fruity. Add up to ½ cup of blueberries, raspberries, or chopped strawberries.
• Simulate banana bread. Add ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon banana extract.

Tips for Making This Keto Vanilla Cupcakes Recipe

• Measure the ingredients. Baking is very precise and even just a slight alteration to ratios can throw off a recipe. Because of this, it’s very helpful to use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients.
• Don’t skip ingredients. This recipe makes a small batch of keto cupcakes, so some of the ingredients are very small amounts. They are in there for a reason though! To make sure your cupcakes come out absolutely moist, tender, and deliciously flavorful, don’t skip ingredients.
• Easily make a bigger batch. As written, this keto cupcakes recipe only makes 5 cupcakes. The good thing is, it’s very easy to double or even triple, depending on how many servings you need.
