Let's get started!

How To Make Low Carb Chocolate Cupcakes
To get started, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grab a muffin tray and line with cupcake liners or grease with butter.
Next in a mixing bowl, we'll combine the dry ingredients. Add the almond flour, coconut flour, powdered Erythritol, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix them all together.

Grab another mixing bowl to combine the wet ingredients. Add the eggs, coconut oil, liquid Erythritol and vanilla extract and mix well until combined.

Now carefully combine the wet and dry mixtures together very gently. Be careful not to overmix and fold in the slice strawberries once they're combined.

We're almost ready to bake! Pour the cupcake mixture into your lined muffin tray and bake in the oven for around 25 minutes until slightly golden.

Once they're ready, remove them from the oven and let them sit until they reach room temperature while you prepare the frosting.

To make the chocolate frosting add the butter and cream cheese into a mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer to whisk until they reach a fluffy consistency.

Add the vanilla, Erythritol and cacao powder and continue to mix until well incorporated.

Finally, once the cupcakes have cooled, generously frost them and optionally garnish with sliced strawberries. Enjoy!
