Tips for Making Keto Cupcakes

Do not overbake. It is VERY important not to overbake these cupcakes, so once you get close to the end of the cooking time you want to make sure you get them out of the oven.

Room temperature butter. Do not heat the butter in the microwave, place the butter on the counter until it has reached room temperature and is slightly soft to the touch.

Use Quality Cupcake liners. No one likes it when the cupcake sticks to the liner after they are done baking. This can be easily solved by using a quality cupcake liner. You can also use paper liners, but make sure they are not the thin flimsy ones or the cupcakes will stick to them.

Cool cupcakes before frosting. Allow the cupcakes to cool for 15-20 minutes before frosting them.

Follow the measurements. You need to make sure you follow the exact measurements when you are making these easy keto cupcakes.
