Low carb cupcakes baked with coconut and raspberries are delicious in flavour and delightfully low in carbs as well as being gluten free.
This is a lovely light and moist low carb cupcakes recipe combining coconut and raspberry. The sweetness of the coconut compliment the raspberry. I use a low carb and gluten free buttercream topping before dipping it into shredded coconut just to make it extra sweet. At only 2g net carbs it would be rude not to have a couple!
Recipe Tips
My tip is to make the first part of the topping before you make the cupcakes as you will need this to set for a while.
