Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup erythritol or other granulated sweetener
- 3 units large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and erythritol together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and mix until the batter is smooth.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
