Low-Carb Chocolate Coconut Cupcakes

I find a good cupcake is the solution to many a problem–they’re even better than donuts in that regard because of all that happy extra frosting!

Back in my high school days, we were rewarded monthly during morning break with frosted cupcakes from the local grocery. Looking back on it, I actually have no idea how we got so lucky, but a very kind parent volunteer would bring in enough for the entire grade (there were about 100 of us)– and the moment she made her way into the courtyard we would all go completely mad, nearly clobbering her to get to our hands on one. There was no excuse for our rudeness, but it just goes to show that cupcakes make us do crazy things! 😉

How We Make Our Keto Cupcakes

These scrumptious delights are based on our keto chocolate cupcake recipes, we use a combo of unsweetened baking chocolate and cocoa powder for that rich taste and texture. And in the case here, we use a good amount of full fat coconut milk for extra moisture and flavor. The majority of the coconut taste comes by way of the frosting which boasts a mix of coconut + vanilla extracts and is topped with toasted coconut. A lot of people ask us about the apple cider vinegar– if it alters the flavor of the cupcakes. It’s such a small amount and does not influence the taste, but rather ensures a fluffier rise of the cupcake!

The only tip I have today is just to make sure to read through the ingredients and instructions before you get to work. I know we always say it, but it makes the biggest difference on the outcome and also makes the baking process more fun and stress-free!
