When visting NYC some years back, I attended a cupcake and vodka party in an eclectic Brooklyn loft. One of the cupcake flavours was PB&J and it was love at first bite!

This keto version of those treats took me right back to that loft. These cupcakes are moist and hide a berry delightful surprise! 😉

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, monkfruit, baking powder, xantham gum and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, whisk together the eggs, peanut butter and sour cream until well combined and silky.

Mix in the almond milk, then slowly incorporate the dry ingredients. Continue to whisk with the hand mixer for 3-5 min, until you get a smooth and airy batter.

Divide the batter between 12 silicone or parchment lined cupcakes molds.

Bake 25-30 min, then remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow to cool 30 min.

While the cupcakes cool, prepare the peanut butter icing.

In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, whisk together the ingredients for the icing, until well combined and airy. Set aside.

Once the cupcakes have cooled, using a small sharp knife, create a small hole in the top of each cupcake, by cutting out a small cone shape.

Place 1 tsp of sugar-free jam into the hole of each cupcake, then cover it, using the cut out cone. You can use the store-bought or homemade jam of your choice (see our Mixed Berry Chia Jam or Blackberry Chia Jam recipes).

Top each of the cupcakes with peanut butter icing. Optionally, you can add a little dollop of jam on top of the cupcake.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freeze.
