ORANGE ALMOND CUPCAKES
I’m thrilled to share this recipe with you. These orange almond cupcakes are truly delicious and make a memorable treat. In addition to being low carb, sugar-free and keto, they’re grain-free too! The recipe can also be made as a whole orange almond cake (see Recipe Notes for full instructions).
The inspiration for these orange almond cupcakes comes from recipes containing regular sugar and whole oranges. To make this low carb sugar-free version you’ll need just six ingredients (extra for the frosting).
Ingredients
Cupcakes:
2 large oranges, approx 10.5oz [300g] each (use a pip free variety, e.g. Navel)
7.5 oz. [220g] Xylitol *or Erythritol
8 oz. [227g] Almond Flour
6 large eggs i.e. 2 oz. [60g] each
1 tsp. orange emulsion or extract
1 tsp. baking powder
Frosting:
5 oz. [150g] powdered Xylitol
4 T [60g] butter, softened

2-3 T cream
Instructions
Preliminary Prep
- This can be done the same day or night before. Wash oranges thoroughly, do not remove peel. Boil oranges in a pan of water two hours (make sure the oranges remain covered with water). When oranges are done, leave the peel on, and puree in a blender (you want chunky not slushy). Chill for a few hours or overnight.
- When ready to make cupcakes, preheat oven to 350 degrees F [180 C] or 320 degrees F [160 C] fan-forced. Put 18 large cupcake liners into muffin trays, this will help liners keep their shape and allow cupcakes to cook evenly.
Cupcakes:
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer beat eggs and sweetener on high for 3-5 minutes until pale and fluffy.
- Add baking powder and mix on low.
- Add half of the almond flour and mix on low (scrape down sides of the bowl to ensure the flour is fully incorporated). Add rest of almond flour (scrape down sides of bowl as needed).
- Finally, add orange pulp and orange emulsion or extract, and mix on low (scrape down the sides of the bowl).
- Spoon approx. 2-3 tablespoons of mixture into each cupcake liner, smoothing down the tops with the back of a spoon.
