HOW TO MAKE KETO CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

First, preheat oven to 350 F and prepare a muffin tin with 6 liners.
In a large bowl, stir together all the dry ingredients. Add in the wet ingredients and stir until a batter forms. Divide the batter among the cupcake liners and bake for 18-22 minutes.
Finally, set on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before adding the frosting.

HOW TO MAKE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Ingredients you will need for the cream cheese frosting

4oz cream cheese, room temp
4 tbsp butter, room temp
1/3 c powdered erythritol
1 tsp vanilla extract

place all frosting ingredients into a bowl and beat using a handheld mixer until light and fluffy.

Can I leave cupcakes on the counter overnight

It is perfectly fine to leave cupcakes without cream cheese frosting on the counter overnight since cupcakes are similar to bread. Avoid adding your cream cheese topping to your cupcakes until you are ready for them. If cupcakes have already been topped with cream cheese frosting, it is best to store in the fridge in a tightly sealed container.

Will refrigerating cupcakes dry them out

Leaving cupcakes uncovered and not properly stored will result in your cupcakes drying out once stored in the fridge. It is best to store cupcakes covered on the kitchen counter if it doesn’t have any cream cheese frosting.

Can you freeze cupcakes without frosting

Cupcakes without frosting can be frozen for 2-3 months. Keep them securely wrapped or place in an airtight container before storing them. So, to defrost, remove from the freezer and simply microwave. Also, you may allow leave it on the kitchen counter for a few hours to defrost before reheating in the microwave if needed.
