I made these cupcakes the other day for my friends birthday everyone loved them! They were quick and easy to make and tasted delicious. The chocolate ganache frosting definitely makes the whole cupcake! I will say that they taste much better when you let them chill in the fridge for a couple hours!


Ingredients


  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp zero calorie sweetener (Swerve) 
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/4 tsp konjac (Glucomannan) powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1/2 tsp vanilla bean powder
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream

Instructions


  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put 4 paper liners in either cupcake tin or silicone cupcake molds on a cookie sheet. Spray with vegetable oil spray, if desired.
  2. In a small mixing bowl (or cereal bowl) stir together the dry ingredients: almond flour, sweetener, salt, Glucomannan, and baking powder.
  3. Add all the wet ingredients: melted butter, cream, vanilla extract, vanilla, and egg.  
  4. Stir all ingredients until thoroughly mixed and not lumpy.
