I’m dying with how delicious these keto cupcakes are…especially topped with my keto buttercream frosting! These cupcakes are so easy. No waiting for butter to soften and no giant mixers needed! Simply mix and dump.
HOW TO MAKE KETO CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES
Lets go ahead and prep your oven first.
Preheat the oven to 400F and line a 12 cup muffin pan with liners.
Spray inside of the liners with cooking spray.
Now thats done. In a large bowl combine the almond flour, baking soda, salt, sweetener and cocoa powder.
Now you can add in the beaten eggs, Greek Yogurt and vanilla extract.
I have recently come to love using greek yogurt in my baked goods. It makes the cupcakes so light and fluffy!
Here is our beautiful rich keto cupcake batter. Now we can scoop the batter evenly into the muffin cups.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Top with sweetened whipped cream or keto buttercream frosting… and enjoy this rich, delicious cupcake!
Look at that crumb!

Notes
- Nutrition: For 1 cupcake not including any frosting.
- Frosting Options: Use my Keto Buttercream Frosting or a sweetened whipped cream. Both are delicious!
- Greek Yogurt: This is an unconventional keto ingredient that I have been loving lately in my keto baked goods. It makes the cupcakes so light and fluffy and actually has less carbs than sour cream!
- Cocoa Powder: Find one with the least amount of carbs. I like to use Ghirardelli.
- Low Carb Sweetener: Use a granular sweetener that is a 1 for 1 substitute for sugar. My favorite is Lakanto and you can find a coupon code at the bottom of this recipe card.
Can you recommend modifications for high altitude? I’m a fan of your keto mug cake, but I haven’t actually oven baked any of your recipes yet. Your suggestions please? Thank you!
I honestly have no idea how to adjust for high altitude.
Do you recommend a particular brand of Greek yogurt? If not could I use this low carb yogurt called Two Good . It contains only 3 grams of carbohydrates, per 5.3 oz serving.
Yes, you could definitely use that. I also like Fage full fat
