Instructions

To Make the Cupcakes

Preheat oven to 350F. Add the egg whites to a bowl, whip them to stiff peaks using a hand mixer and set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together, the egg yolks and swerve confectioners. Add in the heavy cream, sour cream, vanilla and coffee extracts and mix.
In a separate bowl, add the almond flour, cocoa powder, salt, oat fiber, and baking powder. Whisk together and set aside. Mix in the dry ingredients until combined. Fold in the egg whites, careful not to deflate them.
Scoop the batter into a silicone mini muffin pan (or regular mini muffin pan) sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick, when inserted, comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting.

To Make the Frosting

Whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer, until you have soft peaks. Mix in the mascarpone cheese, coffee and vanilla extracts. Then add in the swerve confectioners and cocoa powder and mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the filling to a piping bag fitted with the tip of your choice and frost the cupcakes, once they have cooled completely. Serve with a dusting of swerve confectioners.

Notes

Oat Fiber is made from grinding the outer husks of oats. How healthy is oat fiber? It's pure insoluble fiber, which doesn't dissolve in water and isn't broken down in the digestive tract, so it has zero net carbs and is perfect for a Keto Diet. It helps give a more traditional texture and that's why I use it so often. Check out all the Keto Oat Fiber Recipes you can make!
To get the best results, it's best to use oat fiber if you can. If you're unable to find it, try a combination of psyllium husk powder and coconut flour. Since both are very absorbent, you might have to add more liquid.
