Keto Sour Cream Vanilla Cupcakes

Looking for basic yellow cupcakes? These Sour Cream Vanilla Keto Cupcakes have only 2 net carbs each. They are great plain or with your favorite icing. I also love keto vanilla cupcakes with strawberries and whipped cream. This easy low carb cupcake recipe is low carb, keto, gluten-free, grain-free, sugar-free, and Trim Healthy Mama friendly.

Birthday season is coming to our house. It begins with my baby turning 2 on December 30th and continues with everyone else within the next 6 months. Most of my husband’s family also has late winter or spring birthdays. Last week I made a batch of Magnolia Bakery’s famous vanilla cupcakes to freeze for our first party. They are my favorite.

But they are not Trim Healthy Mama compatible (not even a smidge). I was strong that morning and didn’t even lick the mixing spoon. I don’t know if I can be that strong at the party once they are covered in buttercream icing. I knew that I needed an alternative for myself so the next day I went to work creating a keto cupcake recipe. Here are my sour cream vanilla HEALTHY cupcakes.

These keto cupcakes are perfect. They are very flavorful I’m thrilled to have a batch in the freezer so I don’t have to miss out at all of our celebrations.

How to make Keto Cupcakes

If you have a hand mixer or food processor it is very very easy to make cupcakes! Simply mix together a couple of ingredients. Add a couple more. Mix more. Add more. Mix. And then just scoop into cupcake liners. That’s it! The prep for these takes 15 minutes tops. I think I can get them in the oven in 8 minutes if my kids aren’t helping. If the little ones are helping it probably takes 30. No joke.

Can I freeze Keto Cupcakes?

Yes! These cupcakes freeze really well. I like having a batch in the freezer so I’m not tempted by high carb baked goods. A batch of these and a batch of fudge brownies ready to go and I can resist almost anything.

To freeze I recommend wrapping each one tightly in plastic wrap. After I do that I normally just pack them into a gallon-sized storage bag.

Can I double this recipe?

This recipe makes one dozen delicious sour cream vanilla keto cupcakes. If you need more cupcakes then go ahead and double or triple this recipe.

You can also double or triple this to make a sheet cake or layer cake!

Ingredients

• 4 tbsp butter softened

• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

• In a bowl with an electric mixer cream the butter and sweetener until light and fluffy. Add the sour cream and vanilla and beat until combined. Add the eggs one at a time mixing after each. 
• Stir in the flours, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined. Divide batter between 12 muffin cups lined with paper liners.
• Bake at 350 for 20-25 min. Some ovens will take up to 30. You want the cupcakes to be firm to the touch and golden brown.

Notes

Notes on Sweeteners: 

I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.

To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for. 

 

To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.

 

Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.
