Why Keto?
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate way of eating that has been shown to promote weight loss and improve health. When done correctly, it can be a great tool for managing diabetes, improving mental clarity, and more.
Note: If you have hit a plateau on the Keto diet, try the Egg Fast!
The Cake (Or Vanilla Cupcake) Mix
I used Keto Queen Kreations; a low-carb (1 net carb), sugar-free, cake mix. It’s super quick and easy and all you have to do is add butter, vanilla extract, milk, and eggs
I’m not a baker, but I play one on T.V. Just kidding.
Seriously, I’m not a baker and I like to cut corners. But I like to make stuff that looks like it was professionally made. So, I found a Keto baking mix.
I typically like to make my own Keto frosting, either buttercream frosting or cream cheese frosting. But with such a busy life, working on call during the day and taking care of two boys, I also got the frosting mix.
The cool thing about these frostings on Etsy is that you can have different Keto sprinkles added or different colors.
Ingredients For Keto Cupcakes:
- 1 Keto Queen Kreations Yellow Cake Mix
- 4 Eggs
- 1/2 Cup Butter, Melted
- 1 Cup Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk
- 1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 1 Funfetti Keto Frosting Mix
For the Low Carb Cupcakes Frosting:
- The Sprinkle Company Funfetti Keto Frosting
- 2 1/2 sticks Butter
- 2 tablespoons of milk or nut milk (like almond milk)
- 1 Tsp. Vanilla
For Traditional Keto Cream Cheese Frosting
If you don’t want to use a mix, you can make your own icing. All that you need for icing is 1 stick of butter, 8 ounces of cream cheese and 2/3 cups of Erythritol and half a teaspoon of vanilla. Mix in mixture and your done.
Don’t forget the Keto Sugar Free Fireworks Sprinkles!

Sprinkles
Instead of using traditional sprinkles made out of palm oil, sugar, and corn starch, I ordered some Keto Sprinkles from Etsy.
There you have some much healthier sprinkles for your cupcakes!
The cupcakes are so moist and easy to make. The Icing can be done while they are baking! That’s why it only takes about 30 minutes in total. It just takes 5 minutes to add the icing and sprinkles when the cupcakes cool.

The great thing about Keto recipes like these is that the powdered sweetener is already built into the mix. I am not great at measuring sweeteners. I’m not great at baking, especially Keto recipes, so this is an easy way to do it.
These cupcakes will brighten anyone’s day without the sugar spikes! What are your “go-to” keto cupcakes and what kind of sprinkles do you make?
Don’t forget to store the keto vanilla cupcakes at room temperature and in an airtight container.
