Ingredients

  • For the cupcakes:
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup black cocoa powder or Dutch-processed cocoa
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/3 cup butter or coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the frosting:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered erythritol
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: black food coloring
  • For decorating:
  • Sugar-free chocolate chips or small berries (for eyes)
  • Slivered almonds or sunflower seeds (for ears)
  • Optional: edible eyes, black cupcake liners, dark chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs, erythritol, almond milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing until a thick batter forms.
  5. Divide batter evenly among cupcake liners.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  7. Meanwhile, make frosting: beat cream cheese, butter, powdered erythritol, and vanilla until fluffy. Add black food coloring if desired.
  8. Frost cooled cupcakes with a piping bag or spatula.
  9. Decorate to look like black cats using chocolate chips or berries for eyes, almond slivers or sunflower seeds for ears, and any additional decorations.

Notes

  • Black cocoa gives a dramatic Halloween-perfect look.
  • Use sunflower seed flour for a nut-free version.
  • Add sugar-free chocolate chips to the batter for extra richness.
  • To make pumpkin spice cupcakes, omit cocoa and add pumpkin purée with cinnamon and nutmeg.
