    These low carb Bailey’s cupcakes are a great holiday treat. A light chocolate almond flourcake is piped with a creamy frosting with a dash or two of sugar free Bailey’s Irish Cream.

    What better flavour combination for the holidays or as a special treat but chocolate with Bailey’s frosting? The Bailey’s is my sugar free recipe. Make a batch and use some of it for these cupcakes.

    How to make Baileys chocolate cupcakes

    The cupcake is a simple chocolate almond flour cupcake.  You could replace the almond flour with coconut flour but reduce the coconut flour to ½ cup. The secret to the lightness of these low carb cupcakes is the sour cream.  I made a batch without it and the cupcakes were more like muffins.

    The frosting is good enough to eat directly from the bowl with a spoon! Cream cheese, butter and allulose flavoured with Baileys. I use allulose as I find that it does not have that “minty” aftertaste some other low carb sweeteners can have.

    Recipe Tips & Suggestions

    If you want to make these cupcake alcohol free, simply omit the Baileys. You could add a touch of coffee to the frosting too.

    You might have frosting left over as I made a large batch of it and piped into on thick and tall! Keep any leftover frosting in a sealed container in the fridge for another batch or smother it on your breakfast pancakes or waffles.
