I am so proud of this Best Keto Chocolate Cupcakes recipe I have created today. It is by far, the best Keto cupcakes that I have tried. It is fluffy, chocolatey and filling. I have frosted mine with my Best Keto Chocolate Buttercream and Cream Cheese Frosting.
These Keto Chocolate Cupcakes need no introduction. Imagine intense, rich chocolate, and moist cupcakes. That’s the one we are looking for in a cupcake, and luckily it’s all here in this recipe. The best of it all, it’s low in carbs, gluten-free, and diabetic-friendly (I used Natvia Sweetener in this recipe).

Which Flour is Best for Keto?
If you are in a Ketogenic diet or lifestyle, almond flour and coconut flour will be your top choice because they are both low in carbs, high in fat and moderate in protein. It has an interesting texture and great flavors too. Although to ensure the right amount of macros, check the products you are using. Macros will vary depending on the brand. Some brands may contain 10 or less net carbs per cup, some have more, so I suggest always look at the nutrition facts at the back of the products.
What is Keto Chocolate Cupcakes Made of?
Basically, Keto cupcakes are made with almond flour or coconut flour or a combination of both. They are mixed with cocoa powder and sweeteners. I also put milk (Keto friendly), I used almond milk on these Keto Chocolate Cupcakes, and some eggs too. Don’t worry, this one doesn’t taste eggy.
How Many Carbs are in Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting?

How to Make the Best Keto Chocolate Cupcakes?
First, you need to preheat the oven to 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C. Grease a regular or mini muffin tin, or line them with cupcake liners. In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and mix well. Add in the remaining ingredients and mix until well combined. Fill the tins about 2/3 cup of the way up. Do not overfill. Bake the cupcakes 10 minutes for mini or 15 minutes for regular size. Remove the tin out of the oven and let it cool completely on a cooling rack. Take note that these cupcakes firm up as they cool. If you are not using cupcake liners, use a knife to carefully go around the side until the cupcakes pop out. I used my Keto Chocolate Frosting to decorate these babies.
