Dr Jockers Comments:
If you are into baking cupcakes you will absolutely love this grain-free recipe. We used the honest keto maple syrup which has monk fruit and does not impact our blood sugar.
This has a lot of good fats that improve metabolism and hormone function. It uses healthy sweeteners in stevia and maple syrup. It is also loaded with powerful catechin antioxidants in the cacao!
The Buttercream frosting is loaded with healthy fats! The grass/pasture-fed butter is rich in small and medium chain fatty acids (MCTs) that are powerful for the body. It also has tons of carotenoid antioxidants, vitamin K2, and brain boosting omega-3 fatty acids. The coconut oil is also rich in MCTs that help stimulate metabolism and improve hormone function.
This is a fantastic treat to bring to a party and after everyone eats and enjoys it you can tell them how healthy it was for them! Enjoy!
Are there any substitutes for coconut/oil/butter/etc? My wife has an allergy 🙁
Stinky – that is a bad allergy to have. I would recommend almond butter as an alternative.
Any substitution for the vanilla cream stevia? I have unflavored liquid stevia and would – at this time – not want to go buy the flavored stuff. But the recipe sounds absolutely delicious. I have all the ingredients except the flavored stevia (and the beet powder, but I don’t need it to be pink).
Yes you can use the regular stevia and add in a tsp of pure vanilla if you like or just leave the vanilla out. Let us know if you enjoyed it like that!
Any idea on what the net carbs are per serving?
Not sure!
