Ingredients:
For the cupcakes:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar substitute (such as erythritol or stevia)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup brewed strong coffee, cooled
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the frosting:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar substitute (such as powdered erythritol or powdered stevia)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Optional garnish:
- Ground cinnamon or nutmeg
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, sugar substitute, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brewed coffee, almond milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them with the cream cheese frosting. You can pipe the frosting on top of the cupcakes or spread it with a spatula.
- If desired, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top of each cupcake as a garnish.
- Serve and enjoy!
