Ingredients
  

Cupcake

  • cups almond flour
  • cup coconut flour
  • ¼ cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
  • ½ cup sugar-free brown sugar
  • 1 t baking powder
  • ½ t salt
  • 3 eggs
  • cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 3 T butter melted
  • 1 t vanilla extract

Frosting

  • 8 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 1 T butter melted
  • cup sugar-free powdered/confectioner's sugar
  • 2 T unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 T sugar-free brown sugar
  • 1 T unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 t vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Cupcakes

  • Preheat oven to 375℉ and prepare cupcake tins.
  • Combine the almond flour, coconut flour, unsweetened dark cocoa powder, sugar-free brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Add the eggs, almond milk, butter, and vanilla. Combine well.
  • Add the batter to the cupcake tins. I use a cookie scoop and do about 2-3 scoops, but it comes out to be about ¼ cup. You could also fill it just short of the top of the tins.
  • Bake for 25 minutes.

Frosting

  • In a large bowl, whip together the cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes, or until fluffy and creamy.
  • Add the sugar-free powdered sugar, cocoa powder, sugar-free brown sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Beat with the mixer for another minute, until fully combined.
  • Frosts the cupcakes.
