Ingredients
Vanilla Cupcakes
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup monk fruit sweetener or other low carb sweetener
- 3 tablespoons almond milk
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Strawberry Jam
- 1 cup strawberries
- ¼ cup monk fruit sweetener

Instructions
Make the Cupcakes
- Pre-heat the oven to180C/350F degrees and line a muffin tin with 6 cupcake liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, sweetener, vanilla and almond milk.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk the coconut flour, baking powder and salt.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until combined into a smooth batter.
- Pour the cupcake batter into the prepared baking tin. We use a ¼ cup to pour the batter for an even amount per cupcake liner.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until the cupcakes are firm and golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Place the cupcakes on a cooling rack.
Make the Strawberry Jam
- Chop the strawberries and add to a small saucepan with the sweetener and water (or lemon juice).
- Cook on a medium heat for 10-15 minutes until the strawberry mixture thickens.
- Set aside to cool
Prepare the Topping
- Pour the whipping cream in a large bowl and whisk until stiff peaks form.
Assemble
- Cup a small hole out of the middle of each cupcake (we don't use these so they can be put aside for a snack or enjoyed as small cake treat)
- Spoon the strawberry jam into the cupcake middle and fill to the top.
- Pipe or spoon the whipped cream frosting over the top of the cupcakes (piping gives a prettier look). Then top with one of the halved strawberries.
- Eat and enjoy!
