Red velvet cupcakes made with coconut flour make a delicious low carb and gluten free option. Decorated with a cream cheese topping makes them extra tempting.
I love the bright colour of red velvet cupcakes. This recipe should give you a lovely moist cupcake. The topping is made out of cream cheese and these should be stored in the refrigerator.
This red velvet cupcake mixture is very moist without being too "eggy". The addition of coconut oil and coconut milk help with ensuring that you have firm, yet light cupcake.
