Cupcake Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour blanched
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 2 tbsp tapioca flour
  • 1 cup granulated allulose
  • 1/2 cup dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

White Chocolate Peppermint Ganache

  • 1.5 cups Lily's sugar-free white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 drops peppermint essential oil or 1/2 tsp peppermint extract

Buttercream Frosting

  • 1 stick salted butter (or 1/2 cup)
  • 1.5 cup Lakanto powdered sweetener
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream

Instructions
 

Cupcake Process

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients, including sweetener and mix.
  • In a stand mixer, add eggs, egg white, vanilla, and heavy cream and mix for 2-3 minutes on medium speed. You want to aerate the eggs.
  • Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick just comes out clean.
  • Let cupcakes cool entirely before frosting.

Ganache Process

  • Add chocolate chips to a medium, heat-safe bowl.
  • Heat heavy cream separately in the microwave until very hot, about 45-50 seconds. You want it to almost boil.
  • Pour cream over chocolate chips and let sit for 4-5 minutes, then whisk until smooth and add peppermint. Let cool until pipeable.

Buttercream Process

  • In a stand mixer, combine softened butter and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy.
  • Slowly add in sweetener, pausing to scrape down sides of the bowl during mixing.
  • Add heavy cream at room temperature and beat frosting until light and fluffy.

Cupcake Assembly

  • Carve out holes from the tops of your cupcake for the ganache center.
  • Using a piping bag, pipe ganache into cupcakes.
  • Once cupcakes are filled, use a piping bag to pipe buttercream right on top of the cupcakes/ganache.
  • Top with crushed peppermint pieces and enjoy!
