Keto Strawberry Cream Cheese Cupcake Recipe

These strawberry cupcakes are light and perfect for springtime. Even without frosting, these are super tasty and moist. I hope you all enjoy this one. You can substitute the monk fruit sweetener and erythritol for one of your choice, but be sure to reference a conversion chart. If you decide to experiment and change up the recipe, let me know what you tried, and how it turned out!

Entire batch = 20g net carbs (52g with frosting)
Separated into 12 cupcakes, each cupcake = 1.67g net carbs (4.33g with frosting)

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees, line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. (I would suggest aluminum or double lining if you’re using paper).

  6. Bake for 26-28 minutes and let cool completely.

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, butter, and imitation vanilla extract. Mix well.
  2. Slowly add powdered erythritol while mixing.
  3. Optional: add in 8-10 drops of liquid red food dye.
