Looking for the ultimate Keto Strawberry Cupcake recipe? This strawberry infused cupcake topped with strawberry cream cheese frosting is amazing! Skip the long lines at the bakery and whip up a batch of these delicious cupcakes in your own kitchen!
I have always been a huge fan of strawberry cake with strawberry icing and I remember my great grandma made the best one. These keto strawberry cupcakes are absolutely delicious as well!
Where do I find freeze dried strawberries?
I usually find freeze dried strawberries in 28 gram bags at the grocery store with the bulk nuts. Some grocery stores have them on the baking isle. They give so much strawberry flavor to the cupcakes!
How to make strawberry cupcakes keto friendly
The elements of a cupcake that make it not keto friendly are the flour and the sugar, of course. Instead of white flour, we use almond flour and instead of white sugar, we use a sugar free sweetener that is a 1 for 1 swap for sugar. Just the 2 swaps create a delicious cupcake that will not leave you feeling yucky.

Recipe Card
Keto Strawberry Cupcakes with Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting!
Ingredients
- 14 grams freeze dried strawberries
- 2 ½ cups almond flour (click to see my favorite)
- ¾ cup sugar free granulated sweetener (click to see my favorite)
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 8 Ounces Plain, fat free, Greek yogurt
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 Cup unsalted butter, softened
- 8 Ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups sugar free powdered sweetener (click to see my favorite)
- 14 Grams freeze dried Strawberries
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Method
- Freeze dried strawberries usually come in 28 gram bags. Go ahead and make the dust for the cupcakes and the frosting by pulsing the strawberries in a foot processor. Use half for the cupcakes and half for the frosting or 14 grams each.
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line a muffin tin with 12 liners and spray the inside of the liners with cooking spray. Set Aside.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the almond flour, sweetener, baking soda, salt, and strawberry dust. Stir until fully combined.
- Now add you eggs, greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Once ingredients are combined equally, divide the batter into each one of your cupcake liners.
- Place into your already preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Set aside and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl cream together the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer until pale in color. Add in the vanilla extract, powdered strawberries and ½ of the powdered sweetener and beat with the mixer on low speed until the sweetener is incorporared. Add the rest of the sweetener and beat on low speed until smooth.
- Use a piping bag to top your strawberry cupcakes with the frosting. Serve.

Will fresh strawberries work the same?
Jennifer Banz says
I don't think they would as they would add too much moisture
Toni says
Praise God hi Jennifer!
Did you add the nutritional value yet? Thank you.
jenniferbanz says
Yes ma'am, thank you for reminding me!
Rose says
Hi Jennifer, I can't get pure freeze dried strawberries where I am (either has apple or sugar added), can I just puree some strawberries? Will that still work?
jenniferbanz says
Yes, you could try using 1 cup of strawberries in place of the yogurt.
Rose says
Thanks, I actually ended up finding some in an organic shop, so I'm excited to give these a try!
Paula Baransky says
Hi Jennifer - I made this today - so unusual no nutritional information for the recipe. I could only find a 23g strawberry freeze dried package so I used versus the 28g. It’s yummy
LINDA SMITH says
Seems to be missing the nutritional information??
jenniferbanz says
Oh sorry! I completely forgot to do that! I will get it added asap
