  • Mix until you have a stiff dough.
  • Use a muffin tray lined with wrappers to evenly distribute the batter among 12 cups.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes clean.
  • You can also make the frosting while you wait by mixing all ingredients together in a bowl. Then, use a mixer to mix until smooth.
  • Allow to cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes before frosting the cupcakes.
  • Use a piping bag or a ziplock to ice them. Start by filling the bag with icing, cutting off the corners for a ziplock. Then pipe in a circular motion from the edge to center of each cupcake. For each cupcake, repeat the process.
  • Serve immediately, or keep in an airtight container in your fridge for up to one week. Enjoy your Keto Carrot Cupcakes!
