Instructions

To make the cupcakes:

Preheat oven to 350F. Add the almond flour, baking powder, oat fiber, pumpkin pie spice and salt to a bowl and whisk together, then set aside.
In a separate bowl add the eggs, sour cream, pumpkin, vanilla, Swerve and mix using a hand mixer until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix. Scoop into silicone cupcake liners or paper liners.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick, when inserted, comes out clean. Do not over bake them or they will dry out. Allow to cool completely before frosting.

To make the frosting:

Add all of the ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix using a hand mixer, until well combined. Scrape down the sides and continue mixing until smooth and creamy.
Transfer to a piping bag and you are ready to frost once the cupcakes have cooled.

Notes

You can certainly substitute with double the amount of vanilla extract, you won't get the same intense vanilla flavor or the flecks of vanilla beans throughout.
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.
