  • 1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened nondairy milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 2 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 cup dairy-free butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pink natural food coloring (optional)
  • sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

To make the cupcakes:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin pan with baking cups
  2. In a large bowl whisk together eggs, sugar, monk fruit sweetener, coconut oil, milk, vanilla and almond extracts
  3. Add in almond flour, baking powder and salt. Stir just until everything completely combined
  4. Transfer batter evenly to baking cups, flatten/even it out a bit on top, then bake for 22-24 minutes. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before adding frosting

To make the frosting:

  1. Place dairy-free butter in a stand mixer or large bowl, and beat until creamy. Then beat in the powdered sugar until fully combined
  2. Add in the vanilla extract. If frosting is too thick add a splash of nondairy milk until reaches desired consistency

To assemble cupcakes:

Spoon or pipe about 2 tablespoons of frosting onto each cupcake, and top with sprinkles

Notes

Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or longer on the refrigerator. I prefer to refrigerate as almond flour can tend to get soggy
