Today I'm sharing a classic recipe that's taken me quite a long time to perfect.

Keto cooking is easy, but keto baking is a whole different animal.

My personal keto baking style has come a LONG way since my first post more than 3 years ago, and these cupcakes reflect that.

They're moist, tender, and easy to make!

I've opted not to use a traditional buttercream icing, but instead opt for Keto Chocolate Mascarpone icing as it holds up well, has a wonderfully rich and mild taste, and holds up well during storage.  

It's also almost impossible to ruin.

However, if you are paleo, I've included a link to a wonderful paleo buttercream that you'll love.

Ingredients for Homemade Keto Chocolate Cupcakes

I use two main flours in most of my desserts, cookies especially: almond flour and coconut flour.

Almond Flour is very easy to find these days in most grocery stores and is very affordable.  It provides most of the bulk and structure of the recipe.

I also use 2 Tablespoons of Coconut Flour – another common flour that is appearing in more and more grocery store shelves. 

Both can also be found on Amazon.  

Here is my choice for Almond Flour.

And my pick for Coconut Flour.

You'll also need your choice of chocolate chips.  

I used Lily's Milk Chocolate Chips because they're delicious, can be found on Amazon, Thrive Market, and more local grocery stores every month.

Lily's Chocolate Chips are keto, paleo, and sugar free.

There are, however some other options for chocolate chips to consider:

How To Make Homemade Keto Chocolate Cupcakes

Preheat your oven to 350.

Grease a cupcake pan with coconut oil cooking spray.

Combine the softened butte (or ghee for paleo), eggs, lakanto baking sweetener, vanilla, and sweetleaf stevia in a large mixing bowl.  

Mix in the almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, ground flax, and baking powder, stirring to combine. 

Add in up to 1/4 cup of Almond milk to thin the cupcake batter to make it easier to scoop and settle in the muffin cavities.

Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, put 2 scoops of the batter into each cavity, then smack the pan on the counter a couple of times to release any air bubbles and settle the batter.

Bake for 15-20 minutes and let cool completely before removing from the pan.

How To Make the icing for Homemade Keto Chocolate Cupcakes

First, stir together the heavy cream, confectioner's sweetener, and lily's chips in a microwave safe bowl.

Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time until the fudge is completely smooth.

While it's still warm, stir in the mascarpone until smooth.

Add the mascarpone fudge to a pastry bag with tip, and set aside to cool before icing the cupcakes.
