Low Carb Strawberry Cinnamon Crunch Cupcakes

Vanilla-flavored cupcakes are filled with chopped dehydrated strawberries for a natural-tasting cupcake. No fake strawberry flavors here! On top of each cupcake is a buttery cinnamon-flavored crumble. On top of that is a dollop of strawberry cream cheese frosting. The recipe uses dehydrated strawberries throughout, which is a cool way to enjoy lots of strawberry flavor on the Keto diet while obtaining minimal carbs. For storing leftover cupcakes, make sure they’re completely cooled first. You can keep them in an airtight container or on a plate wrapped in plastic in your refrigerator.

Keto Mother’s day cake recipe

Don’t use Carb Manager just for everyday meals. There are plenty of recipes that can be used for holidays and special occasions too. For example, these cupcakes are the perfect Keto Mother’s day recipe! Bright flavors of strawberry and vanilla are always a hit. Plus, who doesn’t love cream cheese frosting? You could also make these Keto cupcakes for Valentine’s day, a birthday, or a Summer barbecue.

Dehydrated versus dried strawberries

When purchasing your ingredients, make sure you are getting dehydrated strawberries and not dried strawberries. Dried strawberries will likely have added sugar, plus they’ll have more carbs per ounce than dehydrated strawberries. Dehydrated strawberries will be lighter in weight, sugar-free, and brighter in color.

Should I use food coloring?

It is optional to include pink food coloring in the cream cheese icing. Food coloring is completely Keto-friendly and won’t affect your macros in any way. However, the food coloring is simply for appearances and is not necessary for the recipe. Without the pink food coloring, your cream cheese icing will be pale off-white with flecks of strawberries throughout.
