Instructions

TO MAKE THE GLUTEN-FREE CUPCAKES

Preheat your oven to 350F. Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl and whisk to combine them.
In a separate bowl, add in the eggs, heavy cream, vanilla bean paste (or extract) and Swerve, then mix using a hand mixer until they’re combined.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet, then mix, just until combined.
Scoop into 10 silicone cupcake liners or a muffin pan sprayed with nonstick spray, then bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick, when inserted, comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.

TO MAKE THE SUGAR-FREE VANILLA FROSTING

Add the cream cheese and butter into a mixing bowl and whip using a hand mixer. Then add in the remaining ingredients and continue mixing until smooth and creamy.
Add to a piping bag fitted with the tip of your choice and pipe onto each cooled cupcake. You can serve them as is, or top with fresh berries.

Notes

If you don't have Allulose, you can use ⅓ cup of Swerve confectioners instead.
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.
