Low Carb Valentine Cupcakes Ingredients
– Almond flour: Blanched almond flour is much finer than almond meal, which is made from unblanched almonds. I highly recommend almond flour as it can be used in baking as well as cooking for thickening sauces and soups.
– Butter: Unsalted butter is best to use when baking.
– Keto sugar: I am using monk fruit sugar, because it has 0 calories and no glycemic impact.
– Cocoa powder: I recommend unsweetened cocoa powder for most of my baking recipes.
– Food coloring: For this recipe, I recommend red food coloring.
– Vanilla extract: Vanilla extract gives these cupcakes such a great flavor! If you don’t have any ready-made on hand, using vanilla beans will work just as well. Just split the pod open and use the seeds scraped from inside for this recipe.
– Baking powder: Baking powder is used to aerate the cupcakes, making them nice and fluffy.
– Eggs: I use large eggs in my recipes. Make sure they are at room temperature for best results.
– Heavy cream: Full fat heavy cream is the best for this recipe.
– Salt: Salt is vital in any type of baking, as it brings out flavors and balances other ingredients.
