These decadent tender low carb keto carrot cake cupcakes with keto cream cheese frosting are so quick and easy to make and have just 3 grams of net carbs so they won’t spike your blood sugar and can be enjoyed on a keto diet, low-carb, and sugar-free diet.

KETO CARROT CAKE MUFFINS OR CUPCAKES?

The difference between cupcakes and muffins is that cupcakes are often fluffy and light and have more sugar and muffins tend to be denser.

Since we top our cupcakes with a creamy delicious but sugar-free cream cheese frosting, our cupcake recipes need to be stored in the refrigerator. This keeps the carrot cake cupcakes nice and moist but they do tend to be denser than traditional cupcakes.

My original keto carrot cake recipe is from my Sugar-Free Low Carb Carrot Cake Cheesecake Cake recipe which I adapted these from.

You could call them keto muffins if you skip adding the cream cheese frosting and serve them for breakfast if you prefer, but not matter what you call them, this sugar-free, nut-free carrot cake cupcake recipe is fantastic and your whole family will love them.

I served them to my family who are not low-carb or keto, and they loved them. My dad who does not often eat any desserts really liked them as well as my mom, brother, his wife, and of course my hubby and sons. I’d say that’s a win for us and hopefully, it will be for your family too!
