Keto Carrot Cake Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Cream cheese frosting is one of those things that could be spread on just about anything and make it delicious. Lucky for us, these carrot cake cupcakes are delicious even before they are frosted. That said, we wouldn’t dream of skipping the frosting. The limitations of the ketogenic diet can be a bummer sometimes, but not when it comes to dessert. Cream cheese is a keto-approved food already, and a few small tweaks make the rest of the recipe deliciously acceptable as well. Almond flour is simply ground almonds, and can replace white flour almost anywhere; there are plenty of options for stevia these days, so whether you prefer drops or granules is totally up to you. Full fat yogurt provides gut-healthy probiotics to the recipe, and shredded carrots make these cupcakes almost a health-food! 😉
