The Best keto red velvet recipe, most popular in my keto bakery. #ketoredvelvet #lowcarbredvelvet #grainfreeredvelvet via @angelaroberts

Grain Free, Sugar Free Red Velvet Cupcakes, Low Carb, Keto
grain-free-sugar free red velvet cupcakes from spinach tiger

I am republishing this recipe again, because I’ve improved the recipe by adding in unflavored protein whey. You can still use coconut flour instead.

I’ve started a small keto home bakery for the Nashville/Franklin area, which has prompted me to test and retest recipes. I’ve been baking keto cakes for the last 2 1/2 years and have learned so much about baking with alternative flours. Since I live in the south, I knew the red velvet cake had to be perfect. I believe this version is perfect.

I’m into my third year baking grain-free and have baked hundreds of keto cakes and am very familiar with baking red velvet as this is my sixth red velvet recipe here.

I already have what I consider the very best gluten free red velvet cupcake recipe made with a rice flour mixture, but for some of you, you need to avoid grains..

This grain free, sugar free red velvet cupcakes recipe is my very own creation.

What do I prefer as an alternative flour for Keto Red Velvet Cupcakes?

I tend to like the almond flour version better. It bakes up much smoother and is prettier and is closer to the original red velvet cake.

What sweetener do you use?

I used swerve as my sweetener, which is a healthy sweetener choice that doesn’t interfere with blood sugar.

I wish I could tell you that I used a “red food coloring” alternative, but I didn’t. If you need an alternative try beet powder found here. (I’ll be testing that in the future and I’ll let you know).

How to make coconut flour sugar free red velvet cupcakes, grain free from spinach tiger

Why do I use protein powder in the recipe?

I discovered that a little bit of unflavored protein powder helps gives a rise and better crumb.


The recipe for the cream cheese frosting makes a modest amount, as these are small cupcakes, and I didn’t want the cupcake to be top heavy. These are meant to be small treats.

I used swerve in the recipe for the cream cheese frosting, making this grain-free, sugar free red velvet cupcake, keto friendly.

Grain Free Red Velvet Cupcakes

One thing I’ve learned for sure. Red Velvet is not a trend. It’s popular, classic and here to stay.

So far, I have published six ways to make red velvet.

The most popular of my red velvet recipes is the red velvet cheesecake cupcake recipe, which I think you could adapt using the tips from this recipe or the gluten free recipe.

How I Sweeten Keto Red Velvet Cupcakes

I use Swerve granulated for the cake part and Swerve confectioner’s for the cream cheese frosting. I wrote extensively on Swerve and why I use it Here.

Swerve with Packaging

What is nutrition/carb count for this recipe?

These grain-free, sugar-free red velvet cupcakes are the red velvets I’m most proud, because it was the most challenging. Swerve carbs are sugar alcohol carbs, not processed as carb count in body. This recipe makes 12 cupcakes, 3 net carbs.

I hope you find many wonderful keto desserts here. Please follow me on instagram and if you make the recipe, tag me #spinachtiger. If you love this recipe, please give it five stars. I really appreciate that.

Keto Red Velvet Cupcakes

Keto Red Velvet Cupcakes made with Almond Flour
Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time15 mins
Total Time25 mins
Course: Keto Dessert
Cuisine: American
Servings: 12
Author: Angela Roberts

Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons unflavored whey protein powder ORDER HERE see notes for substitutions
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder Natural not dutch processed
  • 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter or use 1/2 cup avocado oil
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup Swerve Granulated
  • 2 tablespoons sugar free maple syrup optional
  • 2 tablespoons Swerve brown sugar optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons sour cream
  • 4 tablespoons milk see notes
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar

  • Cream Cheese Frosting
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 cup Swerve confectioner's sugar can add up 1/2 cup more
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream as needed

Instructions

  • In separate bowl from mixer, mix together almond flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, sifted cocoa powder, xanthan gum.
  • In mixer, cream butter and Swerve.
  • Add eggs one at a time.
  • Add vanilla.
  • Put sour cream in measuring cup. Fill with milk up to 1/2 cup mark. (I use Fairlife, which is low-carb. You can use heavy cream if desired). This makes a buttermilk.
  • Add food coloring to buttermilk mixture.
  • Add almond flour mixture to sugar/egg mixture alternating with buttermilk mixture.
  • Add vinegar at the end.
  • Mix well.
  • Bake immediately for 15 minutes at 350 F./ 180 C..
  • Cool and frost with cream cheese frosting found here.
  • !Cream Cheese Frosting
  • Beat butter for five full minutes.
  • Mix together butter and cream cheese first until completely smooth.
  • Add confectioner's sugar a little at a time. You may only need 1 cup, so taste as you go.
  • Add Vanilla.
  • Add heavy cream. I find that when I beat that butter long time, the frosting is light and does not need much, if any, heavy cream.

Notes

If you need to sub protein powder, sub with 30 extra grams of almond flour or 26 grams of coconut flour. 
Re: Optional Maple Syrup - I love this extra sweetness I use Choc Zero. Use my code SpinachTiger to save 10 %. (affiliate)
Optional Swerve Brown Sugar - Adds a little something extra.

    I made these yesterday for my Easter Sunday family luncheon. My husband and I are the only ones in the whole group who are Keto, so I didn’t mention to anyone that these were grain free and Keto friendly. 😉 I chose this recipe because we do have a family member with a nut allergy and there was no almond flour in this recipe. My sugar addicted adult-daughter was the first to try one and she literally gushed about how fantastic they tasted! Gradually word got around how good these were and everyone was raving. Yayy! At the end of the day, I mentioned that these were Keto friendly and grain free and everybody was shocked! Thanks for the great recipe … #forthewin

    This has been the best red velvet low carb recipe ! I’m new to keto and I’ve been craving red velvet so much !

    The only suggestion I would make is to lower the amount of sugar you put into the batter and frosting. I use Swerve as well – but it’s a bit sweeter than regular sugar. For the frosting – I used half of what the recipe asked for and IT’S DELICIOUS. The batter I used the exact amount and I find it a bit sweet. I’ll dial it 1/4 cup back perhaps for next time. But if you crave something on the sweet side – use the exact recipe calls for.

      I actually agree with you. After another year of using Swerve, and experimenting, I’ve been able to use less.

        Thank you so much for the Red Velvet recipe, I can’t wait to make them! I have 2 questions before starting;
        I just started using Swerve, how much do you reduce from original recipe?
        I only have unflavored Collagen protein powder, not whey, will that work?
        Thanks for your help and your wonderful recipe!

    Though a Keto cupcake, very pleased with how moist and tasty they are. Only had trivia granular on hand…will try swerve next time. Adjusted the icing as well with a bit more cream cheese, less butter.

TUSCAN SHRIMP - You can find tuscan everything on Pinterest. Tuscan chicken, Tuscan salmon and my Tuscan shrimp. They all have one thing in common….a whole cup of heavy cream. I decided to slim it down a bit by adding only a splash of cream, and using a thickening gel made from xanthan gum, (recipe below)  and some broth. I spiced it up with some Trader Joe’s  bomba sauce, ❤️👩🏻‍🍳which in case you haven’t noticed, I put it in EVERYTHING. Recipe coming soon.

I hope you’re having the best Saturday you can have. I did a lot of early baking and now it’s me and Peaches watching the PBS Masterpiece Theater. I love my subscription to Acorn and Britbox, PBS. Anyone else an Acorn fan? I love Agatha Raisin, Deadwater fell, Doc Martin, Delicious, Nothing Trivial, 800 Words, The Heart Guy, Murdock Mysteries, A Place to Call Home, Poirot, Mount Pleasant, Father Brown. 
On Brit Box, the funniest show (and uplifting) I’ve ever seen is Mrs. Brown’s Boys. HIGHLY recommend that but beware of some swear words. (It’s Irish)

Taco Tuesday, even if you’re on keto! At first glance you would think you can’t eat this on a low carb diet. Think again. Fish fried with pork panko, sitting in my grain free tortillas (which you can buy in my bakery by the way). You can use a food processor to transform pork rinds into pork panko. I found the pork panko at costco (affordable, finally and they are life changing for a grain free diet).

We cannot control the crazy in our wold right now, but we can control what we eat. This spicy salmon is keto friendly with ground pork rinds giving crunch. Not only seriously delicious, but Omega 3 good for you. 
I choose healthy but I also choose pleasurable food. This is placed atop cauliflower rice and some nice white wine wouldn’t hurt either.  The spicy comes from Trader Joe’s Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce made with fermented  Calabrian chili peppers. It’s my new go to. EASY Recipe coming soon.

My most popular blog post is this New York Strip Steak, 185,000 times this year! And, I get the nicest comments about my method. It’s a pan sear and then to oven recipe, but the tips are what bring success. It’s not a reverse sear, which I’ve done with some other steaks, because I like that method with really thick steak. Strip steaks tend to be thinner and the sear and roast method keeps my steak medium rare. Salt and Pepper are my only seasonings…Maybe a bit of butter and thyme. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/new-york-strip-steak-recipe/

Tips for the Perfect Steak

* Salt the steak 24 hours in advance. It goes into the meat overnight, adds moisture and enhances flavor
* Don’t cover steaks in the fridge. The outside of the steak should be dry if you want to sear them. Put them on a rack so both sides dry.
* Make sure the steak is dry, before searing. When ready to cook, I used to think my steak needed to come down to room temperature, but I now find that I get a better sear  with a cold steak, as long as the steak is dry. It’s the water that comes out of the steak that prevents that nice sear, also known as the mallaird effect.
* Start with a very hot  cast iron pan.
* Do not add oil until pan is hot.
* Use a round grill press, if you can, but no worries if you don’t have one.

Happy New Year! Fingers crossed🤞🏼. Prayers said. 🙏🏻Celebrating today with carnitas and a black eyed peas dip. 👩🏻‍🍳Lucky black eyed peans mean prosperous. Eating pork is also something about pigs rooting forward. Growing up we ate pork and sauerkraut every New Years. 🥳Today it’s a little bit more modern. The black eyed peas is coupled with black beans, pickled red onion from @thekitchn, pickled jalapeño, cilantro, various bell pepper, lime juice avocado and plenty of salt. You must have the salt to awaken and balance the vinegar. Since last week’s Nashville bombing, my appetite was meh. Today is a new year and I’ve invited company and look forward to all the good every year has, no matter what. Helmet of salvation beats this earth stuff any day! (Recipe will come to the blog this week). SpinachTiger dot com reached 12 years!

Cheeseball and Peaches  have so enjoyed the lockdown this year! This is a rare moment when they are actually cuddling together. They cuddle people more. They have the large deck outside to roam. They race around chasing each other in the middle of the night and for them life is wonderful. Reflecting on the past year, I’m truly an optimist, even in 2020.  Many good things happened, shadowed by Covid fallout some because of Covid. The biggest down for me personally was the lack of adventure, connection, parties, dining out, inviting people over, talking to my customers face to face. These are not shallow things. They are the things that boost the immune system and prolong life. Bread and water shared with people trumps a huge feast eaten alone. So my happiest times this year have been with people I love and the getaway at my friend’s farm. Getting OUTSIDE without a mask, without fear has meant everything. The joy of the Lord is my strength and I pray for a lot of JOY for 2021, for as a believer, it’s never pitch dark.

Taco Tuesday can be keto with my grain free tortillas. Easy enough to make and they stack one on top of the other in the freezer. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/grain-free-tortillas-keto-low-carb/

How warped time is now. Three days ago, bombing in Nashville. FBI says solved. Life goes on. Power restored. Went to my usual Monday morning workout. HOWEVER, my brain and heart can’t catch up this fast. Taking a day to chill, process, and look at the big fat year ahead. Bakery owner, full-time food blogger. Thinking about what new doors to open, what doors I should shut. I’ll leave you with this. 2020 started off amazing! I scheduled my first bakery classes and was so gleeful to be able to make one of my dreams come true. In March they all had to be cancelled. The bakery grew during the lockdown! The blog took a major hit in ad dollars due to pandemic. The blog grew substantially in 4th quarter. The blog broke all $ records this month. The bakery closed for three weeks substantial exposure to Covid (taking care of those infected) I never got it! 34 year old sister in law (ex) died suddenly of pancreatic cancer six weeks after diagnosis in July. Her father died five months later. My step mother’s duties increased a bit due to this. She inherited $10,000 from a separate source. So like everyone else, its been up and down and up and down and I didn’t even mention politics, riots, etc. WOW! However, unlike most people, I’m going to call this the best year of my life and marriage. WHY? I started a prayer call in March, praying 4 to 5 days weekly. It has changed my life, my husband’s life and those who come to pray. It has meant EVERYTHING!  By the way this is a cake I never wrote about. Blackberry w lemon mascarpone. What is the ONE GREAT THING of 2020 you experienced?

Can food make you feel better? Sometimes. But it’s been a rough two days. Remember when I said on Christmas Eve, “may tomorrow be as nice as this day: That didn’t age well. What a time! Great little Christmas morning and then I looked at my phone. A BOMB exploded in downtown Nashville. 😡😢Even though I live miles away, our cell service is still not working. We lost internet and TV as did thousands in five states.  Doug ran to Comcast the next morning to get us a temporary account. The scary thing aside from a BOMB, is how vulnerable we are with no cell service or internet (AT & T) as it was all housed in one building with no back up plan. Did you know our infrastructure is this vulnerable? Many of us still can’t call 911 if we needed to. 🙁We are grateful no residents were harmed from the bomb. We still don’t know the “who” in the remains. We don’t know what to believe. 🤷🏻‍♀️I highly recommend watching the Netflix show, Manhunt Deadly Games (about Richard Jewell (falsely accused) and Eric Rudolph (the actual Centennial Park Bomber). Great insight into serial bombers, lone wolfs, and the FBI. 🙏🏻 for not just Nashville but for America.

Merry Christmas. 🎄In spite of all the bad that came with 2020, today was a good day. I found out my wonderful step mother unexpectedly inherited a nice sum of money which she needs badly and that made my heart sing. ❤️ I’m so thrilled when other people get good things they deserve. I was also thrilled with my two sour dough creations we had tonight👩🏻‍🍳. I am still baking from  Emilie Raffa’s Sourdough Made Simple book, and had to try the spinach dip stuffed braided loaf and the camembert wreath. 😋😋Both were HUGE hits, easy directions to follow and came out perfectly.  We had charcuterie, crab cakes, arugula salad and these breads. I think I may not eat again until next year. By the way those cute keto sugar cookies a few posts back were frozen and then brought out for today. Everyone loved them. I think they are even better after being frozen. 
May tomorrow be as nice as today! We all need a good day.
