Strawberries

Cupcakes

  • 1 cup blanched almond flour
  • 2 tablespoon coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sweetener
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large egg
  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon liquid monk fruit

Strawberry buttercream frosting

  • 1 stick unsalted butter (8 TB)
  • 5 tablespoon powdered sweetener
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon liquid monk fruit
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup strawberries (86g)

Cream Cheese Frosting (optional)

Instructions
 

Strawberries

  • Blend strawberries up or chop them finely
  • In a small pot on medium heat add strawberries and granulated sweetener then begin to cook. Continue stirring to avoid them sticking.
  • You'll see the water release first and sizzle but you want to cook past this point to where the strawberries are softer and a strong fragrance is coming from them. Remove from heat and allow to sit. It will thicken as it cools.

Cupcake

  • Preheat oven to 350°F, melt butter then set aside
  • Mix almond flour, coconut flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder and salt
  • Mix eggs, vanilla extract, liquid sweetener into melted butter
  • Combine dry and wet ingredients then beat in strawberries. Blend smoothly. Optional to drop in a few drops of pink food coloring for the true pink color.
  • Place in cup then bake for 20 minutes. Allow to cool compeltely before adding frosting

Buttercream frosting

  • Follow the same instructions for the strawberries you see above. You can even combine both and just split rather than cooking 2 seperate batches.
  • With room temperature butter use a hand mixer and beat lightly
  • Add in powdered sweetener then beat. Be sure to scrape down sides
  • Add in liquid sweetener. For a not so sweet icing take away 1 tsp. Make sure you take out the liquid and not the powdered when adjusting sweetness.
  • Toss in vanilla extract then lastly blend in strawberries. Finish

Cream cheese frosting (optional)

  • If you choose to make cream cheese frosting follow the instructions of the cream cheese frosting recipe but add the strawberries in there from this recipe.
