Ingredients

  • Chocolate Cupcakes
  • 1 3/4 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar-free sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cream Cheese Swirl
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Chocolate Ganache
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
  2. Whisk almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth.
  5. Divide batter evenly among liners, filling about 3/4 full.
  6. Beat cream cheese, powdered sweetener, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth.
  7. Add 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture on each cupcake and swirl gently with a toothpick.
  8. Bake 18–22 minutes until a toothpick inserted in chocolate portion comes out mostly clean.
  9. Cool 10 minutes in pan, then transfer to rack to cool completely.
  10. Heat cream until simmering. Pour over chocolate chips and butter. Let sit 2–3 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  11. Drizzle ganache over cooled cupcakes and allow to set before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for best texture.
  • Avoid overmixing to keep cupcakes tender.
  • Store refrigerated due to cream cheese filling.
  • Freeze up to 2 months in airtight container.
  • Microwave 8–10 seconds if slightly warming before serving.
