Keto Vanilla Cupcake Recipe (2024)

You have no idea how AMAZING this Keto Vanilla Cupcake recipe is! I didn’t even think it was possible to be able to enjoy something SO deliciously good for a Keto/Low Carb treat. These are so versatile with ANY flavor combination your heart may desire.

My husband came home from work one day, telling me he had an idea. He asked me if I was up for a challenge? Of course, that peaked my interest, so I wanted more details. A co-worker’s birthday was coming up and he thought it would be really great to bring in some low carb cupcakes for everyone. I was aware that a few members of his team were already low carb, and a few starting out. So, the thought had already crossed my mind of sending some goodies to work in the future. Well, I guess it was time.

Since starting this journey, I’ve really only had my family and a few friends able to TASTE my food. You all have been able to experience my blog posts with pictures, descriptions and test out my recipes. BUT, this was a game changer! I whole group of LC and some NOT low carb individuals, being able to eat my creation…. WHOA. The nerves started to get to me a bit. I had to master this, to perfection.

Obviously, GOOGLE is the first step. I had to see what other people are doing, who has what kind of recipe, flavor and who is saying it’s good? Even when I see a number of good-looking recipes, that have plenty of potential- I still find that in all of my stubbornness, that I have to create my own. It would have been as simple as-click on that recipe, print that recipe, make that recipe… Nope nope nope. The notepad comes out, along with the binder and all of my old time recipes that I’ve made in the past. Time to create something new! I’ll be honest with you all here, it took me 4 different batches to tweak and finally get it just right!

Full disclosure: Many MANY chicken eggs were cracked in the process of these trial and errors! Nothing went to waste though, each batch WAS edible. My husband and daughter have been enjoying the taste testing on these. I even froze a few for later. So, through all of this testing, I did discover these make a good batch of chocolate flavored also. All you have to do, is add some cacao powder and more sweetener. Very good! You’ll see in the pictures below!

If you are looking for a lil something extra to add, as an additional sweet treat- Check out this recipe for yummy Sugar Free Chocolate Covered Marshmallows Recipe!

Here’s the chocolate version I was describing above! It is really tasty!

The next flavor combination I tried : Strawberry and Cream Cheese Frosting!

Then finally… Maple Pecan & Cream Cheese Frosting!
