Keto Praline Cupcakes

Keto Praline Cupcakes are basically vanilla cupcakes (or what I call my lala cakes) with a pecan glaze. I served these a few weeks ago to my keto baking class and they loved them. One gal who thinks who has only ordered my lemon cakes as her favorite lala cake thought these were even better.

The traditional praline recipe has loads of sugar, but we’re not going to do that, as I’ve figured out how to make these keto friendly.

Just seeing a picture of the keto praline cupcakes says everything. They are even better tasting.

We are going to find a very low-carb solution, using butter, cream, black strap molasses, an egg yolk and Swerve! It works and it’s delicious!

Vanilla Keto Praline Cupcakes Ingredients

• almond flour
• coconut flour
• Swerve
• eggs
• vanilla
• xanthan gum
• avocado oil
• sour cream
• Tart Liners (makes a tart shaped cupcake, easier to eat, frost and share).

The praline topping is rich, but fits the keto diet perfectly having so much fat.
