Keto Cupcakes Recipes
Easy Keto Cupcakes that are low carb, fast to make, and could be used with meringue frosting for any occasion together with our Keto Sprinkles.
This basic Keto Cupcake Recipe is used all the time with variations. I will never make another basic cupcake recipe that is keto because I believe this recipe offers you everything you have ever dreamed of.
I have made Pound cake with it, our Chocolate Cupcakes with Nutella Frosting, and I am about to publish for you Lemon Meringue Cupcakes with Lemon Curd inside as well as almond flour cupcakes with meringue icing.
You can also use them as a base for our Christmas Tree Cupcakes or Keto Santa Hats Cupcakes.
They could also be decorated with our most awaiting Homemade Sugar-Free Keto Sprinkles or Keto Peanut Butter Mousse.
Our recipe for sugar-free cupcakes contains only one gram of total carbohydrate per piece. With one gram of fiber, you come to a whopping zero net carbs in super delicious, moist, soft, and fluffy cupcakes.
1 Cupcake – 1 gram of Total Carbs
Taking into consideration all of the ingredients in this cupcake recipe, I can confirm with confidence that those keto cupcakes are entirely Gluten-Free as well as Grain-Free.
Using our basic recipe, one cupcake contains only 120 calories, which still gives you a bit of space for your frosting, icing, or some unique toppings.
Sugar-Free Cupcakes
For the last four or five years, I have used only this recipe every time my daughter asks for a cupcake. All you need to do is add a bit of spice to it to change the taste.
Those cupcakes or sweet muffins are so extremely easy to make and could be used for really anything. I have even made a few cakes with this recipe.
Sweeteners used for Keto Cupcakes
Keeping those cupcakes sugar-free at all times is the primary goal. Using only the best sweeteners from our whole collection of sugar substitutes is super simple. Pick the one sweetener you like, have at home, or use regularly, and you are good to go.
Because of diabetes, it is pretty essential to have minimal carbs and maintain delicious diabetic cupcakes.
Cupcake Flavors
Transforming them is easy.
For Christmas time, for example, you can add either a bit of Cinnamon or nutmeg or cloves or all of it together, and your kitchen would instantly have a lovely Christmas aroma all over.
A few suggestions of what you can add to the batter to alternate the flavors are:
- Chocolate Chips
- Cocoa Powder
- Red Food Coloring for Red Velvet Cupcakes
- Lemon Juice and zest
- Vanilla Extract for a Perfect Keto Vanilla Cupcakes
- Chopped Nuts
- White Chocolate Chips
- Berries like dried blueberries
- various extracts to change the flavor
Cupcake Toppings
As our recipe is basic without any icing or frosting, I am going to give you some suggestions you can use:
- Sprinkles
- Peanut Butter Mousse
- Condensed Milk
- Peanut Butter
- Whipped Cream
- Meringue frosting
- Strawberry Jam
- Keto almond butter frosting
I have made those perfect Easy Keto Cupcakes at least 50 times, and it is just about time to put it all in writing.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING QUICK AND EASY KETO CUPCAKES
First Step: Prepare your Ingredients
Heat your oven to 200 Celsius or 390 Fahrenheit.
At the same time, prepare all of your ingredients, which are almond flour, eggs, butter, sweeteners, and baking powder.
Almond flour can be replaced with blanched almonds. Butter should be at room temperature for easy whisking.
Second Step: Whisk your Eggs
Add eggs to a container for your hand mixer and whisk them until fluffy.
Third Step: Add Rest of the Ingredients
One by one, add all of the other ingredients.
Fourth Step: Whisk Fully
Whisk thoroughly until all combined, and you have no lumps in the batter.
Fifth Step: Fill and bake
Fill your baking cupcake muffin tin covered with cupcake liners. I always love to use two liners as one usually sticks onto the cupcakes, and the second layer stays for handling and prettiness.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes and let it cool.
If you plan to use frosting or icing, make sure the cupcakes are thoroughly cooled. Otherwise, all will melt.
Tips and Tricks:
- Almond Flour – can be replaced with ground blanched almonds
- Vanilla extract – optional
- Substitution for almond flour – sunflower seeds flour
- Adding Icing – only once the cupcakes are fully cooled. Otherwise, any frosting will melt.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What to serve with Keto Cupcakes?
Apart from all of the toppings, I have mentioned above, those super easy to make, quick, and delicious keto cupcakes can be paired with
- Cold Brew Coffee
- Coconut Ice Cream
- Whipped Cream
- Berries of your choice
How many cupcakes do you get from the recipe?
I have tried to make a recipe for a smaller family or a single person, where you get from our recipe 6 standard size cupcakes.
You can easily double the recipe or use smaller cupcake liners to get mini cupcakes.
How do you store Keto Cupcakes?
Those Diabetic Cupcakes are ideally stored in your fridge for 3-4 days. Anything longer, I would suggest freezing.
Can you freeze Sugar-Free Cupcakes?
Without a doubt, you can freeze those keto cupcakes. Place either in a glass container or a ziplock bag. They are perfect for up to 6 months or more.
Once you are ready to enjoy them, I would suggest taking them out of the freezer the night before and letting them thaw naturally in the refrigerator.

What is sukrim that it says in the video?
Dear Clarissa,
Sukrin is a brand with various natural sweeteners. It is something similar to Swerve, which is more popular in the US. But use any sweetener you have at home and you are used to and it will be ok.
have a great day
Zuzana
Can you use almond flour instead of almond meal?
Dear Clarissa,
Yes, you can use Almond meal as well. Should be no problem at all.
Zuzana
Can you use almond flour instead of almond meal?
Can i use coconut flour instead.?
Dear Leonie,
Coconut flour is much denser and dry compare to any other low carb flours. Plus the taste would be different. I have not tried it myself, but if you do insist, give much much less of it.
Let me know how it went.
Zuzana
You don’t add the butter anywhere in the cupcakes. Yet it’s in the list of ingredients. Is it supposed to be in the cake?
Dear Amanda,
Yes, it is supposed to be in the recipe. Probably it was not really clearly written. I have just updated it. If you see the video I have made, the butter is added together with the almonds and dry ingredients. Thanks for pointing that out.
How come the baked cupcakes are way too bitter?
Dear Maria,
Bitter? No idea. Baking powder? OR some special sweetener?
Video made it more simpler to make this at home. Thank you so much for this delicious recipe.
Keep sharing:)
I do try and make a video for every recipe. It really is sometimes much simpler if You see it baked or cooked.
Great recipe and the closest I’ve tasted to regular full sugar cakes. The only issue I had was the paper cases I baked them in sticking to the cake but I’ll get some less flimsy ones next time. They’ll definitely be a regular bake for me
Use silicone ones if you like. But our paper ones comes out easily as well
I followed the recipe but my cupcakes turned out basically like scrambled eggs in the shape of cupcakes…..
Dear Christine,
There must have been something, you have done differently. Those cupcakes come out all the time perfectly and extra moist. Maybe the size of the eggs? I wish I can help.
The recipe states “powdered sugar”. Is this regular powdered sugar? I’m also wanting to make a margarita cupcake. Do you have any advice on what to add to your base recipe? Thank you! I can’t wait to try these.
Sorry! As I read the recipe it states “powdered sugar substitute”. Thanks!
I see you have already found your answer
Great!! I was going to use chocolate frosting but my husband wanted cream cheese frosting. They were fabulous! I use silicone cupcake liners and baked for 15 minutes.
So happy you liked them Carol
I was looking for a cupcake recipe since I got a mini muffin pan and decided I needed to make something for its first use. The only issue I had with this recipe is the 1,5 teaspoons of baking powder, how much is that? Since I couldn’t figure it out I made a different recipe and I’ll come back to this 1 later. I’m a novice cook and baker so need explicit directions.
It tis one and half of a teaspoon or 6 grams of baking powder
Can i use erytrithol?
You can, if you do not mind the aftertaste it has.
My first attempt to make cupcakes was a great success thanks to your recipe. Soft and rich in flavor. Thank you for all the instructions, I am not a baker, and that helped a lot.
I also love how soft they are every single time we bake them.
