Keto Lemon & Raspberry Cupcakes

Ingredients makes 4 cupcakes

• 2 heaping tbsp coconut flour (24 g/ 0.8 oz)
• ¹/₃ cup + 2 tbsp almond flour (55 g/ 1.9 oz)
• 1 tsp vanilla powder or 2-3 tsp sugar-free vanilla extract
• ¹/₂ tsp baking soda
• 3 medium eggs
• 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted (30 g/ 1.1 oz)
• pinch salt (I like pink Himalayan)
• Optional: Stevia drops to taste
• zest and juice of 1 lemon
• Optional: 2 tsp of poppy seeds
• 18 fresh raspberries (40 g/ 1.4 oz)
• 2 tbsp water (30 ml)
• 250 g unsweetened coconut yoghurt

• Note

  You can use unsweetened Coyo coconut yogurt (both "Natural" and "Vanilla" are sugar-free). Alternatively, you can use coconut cream whipped with a few drops of stevia and spread on top of the cupcakes.)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 190 °C/ 375 °F. In a bowl, mix the coconut flour, ground almonds, baking soda, vanilla, salt, poppy seeds lemon zest together.

2. In a separate bowl, crack open the eggs. Add the melted coconut oil, lemon juice and water. Stir.

3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix well. Gently fold in 15 of the 18 raspberries. Line your loose bottomed cupcake tins with a little coconut oil or olive oil to prevent sticking, or option to use cupcake cases and place in the cupcake tins. Divide the mixture into 4 and fill each cupcake tin.

4. Bake in the oven for around 20 - 25 minutes until golden on top and you can insert and remove a skewer without any crumbs sticking. Remove from the oven and allow to cool fully.

5. Meanwhile, press the 3 remaining raspberries through a fine sieve to get the juice.

6. Drain off any water from the top of the coconut yoghurt. Place the thick coconut yoghurt in a piping bag and drizzle in the raspberry juice (the coconut yogurt needs to be thick or it won’t pipe - refrigeration before piping is required). Pipe onto of the cupcakes. Alternatively, you can just mix the raspberry juice and coconut yoghurt together and spoon on top. It just looks pretty piped!
