Vanilla Cup Cakes

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup melted butter

100g sweetener (Erythritol)

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract (sugar-free)

6 large eggs, cracked into a bowl and whisked to combine

2 tablespoons full cream milk or almond milk

1/2 cup coconut flour OR one cup almond flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°c.
  2. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with 10 paper cupcake liners. Spray the liners with spray and cook non-stick spray.
  3. Beat together the butter, sweetener, salt, vanilla, and eggs. Add the milk, and whisk until smooth.
  4. Sift together the coconut flour or almond flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Add this mixture to the wet ingredients, and stir to combine.
  5. Evenly divide the batter among the 10 liners, filling each 3/4 full.
  6. Bake the cupcakes on the centre rack of the oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the centre of one comes out clean.
  7. Remove the cupcakes from the oven, and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Turn them out of the pan onto a rack to cool completely.

TOPPING OPTIONS

  1. Beat smooth full-fat cream cheese with sweetener (to taste), and a drop of food colouring if you wish.
  2. Serve with fresh cream.
  3. Serve plain
