Perfect for a birthday, bake sale, or just delicious snacking, these keto vanilla cupcakes have an amazing amount of flavor! They are not to sweet, and won’t hurt your blood sugar!
Having a birthday cupcake is a family tradition. We love our birthday cupcakes! However, with 7 family members in our immediate family, that means a lot of birthdays each year. Having birthday cakes all the time can wreck havoc on the blood sugar.
That’s why these sugar free, keto cupcakes are the perfect substitute. They are made with blood sugar friendly erythritol, and gluten free almond flour. This cupcake recipe is a great way to celebrate the special moments without going away from your keto goals.
I think you will agree that these keto vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting are the best!
You can make these cupcakes in regular muffin pan, or a mini muffin pan. If you make this recipe with a mini muffin pan, you should yield 24 mini cupcakes.
How long will these keto vanilla cupcakes last?
If you are asking how quickly they will be eaten, the answer is they won’t last long. However, for storage, they will store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. You may be able to keep them for 7 days. To be honest, they never last long enough around here for me to prove that.

I’ve been looking for a delicious vanilla keto cupcake and these were totally perfect!
yay! I am so glad you liked them!!!
This is perfect for several of my low carb friends at workers who celebrate birthdays in May. Just the right amount to celebrate the occasion and still keep on track! Delicious too!!
I’m glad it’ll help you celebrate~
Great recipe! How can you make this chocolate? Will adding cocoa make the net carbs more? Thanks
yes, adding cocoa will increase the net carbs, depending on how much you add. I am working on a chocolate cupcake recipe and should have that soon 😉
I’ve been looking for a keto cupcake I could make for my parents. This is great! Thanks!
I always loved simple recipes with simple flavors..This looks perfect and the cupcakes looks fabulous
Do you have the nutrition facts for this?
yes, it’s right below the recipe in the “card” area. Hope that helps!
I just want to clarify that you use POWDERED erythritol in the batter part as well as the frosting?? Is that right?
yes that is what I did.
Can I subsutite coconut flour instead of almond flour
Coconut flour is far more dense than almond flour and is not a good 1:1 replacement. You can try adding some coconut flour to the recipe if you’d like, but the rest of the ingredients would need to be changed if you sub coconut flour completely.
Hi! Is there any chance you could provide the carbs etc without the icing? I made them but done whipped cream with a touch of vanilla in it. Amazing!
I made this recipe today,
Is amazing, thanks.
