Keto Chocolate Cupcakes
This is a great recipe for keto chocolate cupcakes. I have perfected this recipe over several months of trial and error. If you are looking for a healthy chocolate treat for a celebration or just for a dessert, you should give this recipe a try.
Best Cupcakes Ever!!!
These cupcakes are the best! They have a wonderful chocolate taste that is enhanced by the addition of the coffee. I also added sour cream which makes baked goods much moister. It is everything that a great cupcake should be. It does deflate a bit in the middle of the cupcake; this is perfectly normal and has happened every time I have made this cupcake. I just fill it with more frosting… it is a built-in extra frosting holder. Yummy!!!
To Frost or Not To Frost?
I love frosting, but Michael does not care for frosting at all. So if you are like Michael, you could also omit the frosting and add chocolate chips and walnuts to the batter before baking, then just not frost them. I have made them both ways and they are really good either way. If you do decide to frost these we also have a frosting recipe that is really good.

I must say I couldn’t tell the difference between a real sugar cupcake and this recipe.
I made a batch to take to my son’s birthday party tomorrow so my husband and I could stick with our keto lifestyle. I also made a conventional recipe for everyone else. I don’t think they would even know that these are keto.
I made one small change and substituted flax meal for the protein powder. I needed to bake them about 20-25 minutes to get a clean knife. Moist and delicious. Excellent recipe, no need to look any further.
