Notes
Helpful Recipe Tips For Perfect Vanilla Cupcakes
- Tap baking cups against counter to make sure batter is level. I use silicone cups which makes this easy. If you load them into a baking pan you can just use the pan to tap against counter.
- Use powdered sweetener for buttercream frosting only! The only sweetener I have come across is ChipMonk that doesn't have to be put in the grinder. It's a allulose and monk fruit blend so there is no aftertaste at all.
- You can sub the liquid sweetener if making the frosting. But, you cannot remove the granulated sweetener in the keto cupcakes themselves.
