Ingredients
For the cupcakes:
- 3/4 cup almond flour

For the topping:
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 F and line your cupcake pans with your chosen liners.
- Into a medium bowl sift all of the dry ingredients, except for the erythritol, to remove any lumps and disperse all of the ingredients evenly.
- In a separate bowl, cream together butter and erythritol with a hand or stand mixer on a low setting. Once the butter and erythritol are creamy and well combined, add the eggs, one at a time until the mixture is smooth. Add food coloring and vanilla extract.

- Cupcakes can be stored in the fridge for 3 days or frozen for 3 months.
