Keto Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients

Step by Step Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tray with muffin liners.

  2. Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook the butter, swirling occasionally, until the butter has melted, starts to brown and smells nutty (about 5 minutes). Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

    For this step

    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices. Set aside.

    For this step

    • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
    • 1/2 cup coconut flour
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
    • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
    • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  4. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, pumpkin, golden monkfruit and syrup until smooth.

    For this step

    • 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
    • 3 eggs
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar free sweetener
    • 1/2 cup sugar free maple syrup
  5. Mix in the dry ingredients along with the browned butter.

  6. Pour into a muffin pan lined with muffin liners. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until they start to brown on top. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before frosting.

  7. To make the cream cheese frosting, add cream cheese, butter and vanilla to a medium bowl. Whip until fluffy and smooth. Slowly add in the powdered erythritol and mix until fluffy. Spread or pipe on top of each cupcake. You can poke a hole in the top of the cupcake to insert the cream cheese frosting into the center of the cupcake.

    For this step

    • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup powdered sugar free sweetener
