🧁 Almond Flour Cupcakes – Oh Yeah!

I’ve always believed cupcakes should be their own food group—small, sweet, and full of joy. But when you’re living that low-carb life, most cupcakes are a straight-up betrayal. That’s why I came up with these almond flour cupcakes – mini sized: all the cozy cupcake vibes, none of the sugar crash or carb guilt.

3 Almond Flour Cupcakes = ~1g NET Carbs!

They’re sweetened with allulose (which my blood sugar appreciates), and the almond flour keeps them soft and satisfying with just the right amount of texture. Plus, these are mini cupcakes, which means I can eat two or three and still feel like a responsible adult. Win-win.

If you’ve got picky eaters, curious kids, or just a craving that won’t quit, these little almond flour cupcakes have you covered. I like mine plain, but they also play nice with a smear of cream cheese frosting or a few sugar-free chocolate chips. Trust me—once you try these, you’ll be making them on repeat.

Ingredients


1 ½ cups almond flour
¼ cup allulose (or to taste; adjust based on sweetness preference)
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for added richness)
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (or unsalted butter for a richer taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Topping
Low-carb frosting of choice (cream cheese frosting works well)
A sprinkle of powdered allulose or a few fresh berries for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with cupcake liners or grease the tin lightly with coconut oil or butter.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, allulose, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Mix Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until combined and no lumps remain. The batter will be slightly thicker than traditional cupcake batter.
  • Fill and Bake: Fill each mini muffin cup about ¾ full with batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and Decorate: Allow cupcakes to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Top with low-carb frosting or sprinkle with powdered allulose, if desired.

Tips


Add-ins: Feel free to add a handful of sugar-free chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a dash of cinnamon for added flavor.

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

🧁 Wrap-Up

If you’re anything like me, you’ll probably eat one of these straight off the cooling rack. And then another while “cleaning up.” No shame—these little guys are built for low-carb snacking, after all.

So go ahead and whip up a batch. Whether you’re keto, sugar-conscious, or just in the mood for a better-for-you treat, these almond flour mini cupcakes are the kind of thing that make sticking to your goals feel like a piece of (cup)cake.
