Keto Carrot Cake Cupcakes

Orange-Carrot Cupcakes

A citrus spiced carrot cake that’s perfect for spring and special occasions. One carrot divided among 12 cupcakes adds a lot of flavor and texture for a small number of additional carbs. Topped with creamy orange frosting, they are just as festive as they are delicious.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease very well.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Orange Cream Keto Chow, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sweetener, eggs, almond milk, avocado oil, vanilla extract, and orange extract. Whisk well until everything is fully combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the center of the dry ingredients and stir them together with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula. Fold in carrots and walnuts.
  • Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of batter into each prepared muffin cup. Distribute any remaining batter as evenly as possible among the cups.
  • Bake in the preheated 350F oven on a center rack until the cupcakes are golden, spring back slightly when gently touched and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Approximately thirty minutes.
  • Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack and cool for about 15 minutes, then remove the cupcakes from the tin, place directly on the cooling rack and allow them to cool completely.
  • When they are completely cool, frost them with Creamy Orange Frosting and decorate to your liking.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
  • Store unfrosted cupcakes in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months.
  • These are also great without the frosting as muffins. Toast them and slather with butter for a special breakfast treat.

Notes

A 3 tbsp scoop worked perfectly for the amount of batter in cupcake tin with no spill over.
