These vanilla frosted buttercream cupcakes are gluten-free, dairy-free, and keto-friendly. Have your whimsy and eat it too!

These are so good! They legit, taste just like a normal cupcake. They’re actually kind of dangerous. Don’t get carried away with these. They’re super high in fiber and if you go overboard, well, disaster pants may become a reality. So be careful with the portion size!

Keto and Co Baking Mixes

I really love everything I’ve tried from Keto and Co. They have everything from cake and brownie mix to hot breakfast cereal.

So far, I’ve tried the brownie mix, yellow cake mix, buttercream frosting, and chocolate cake mix. All of these have been really good. They taste great, and they didn’t appear to upset my system.

Shop Keto and Co on Amazon!

Keto and Co products do contain grains. Specifically, they contain corn fiber. If you’re sensitive to corn, I would steer clear of this brand. Same with coconut, they contain coconut.

Also, if you have a tough time with fiber or have any kind of digestive disorder like IBS, IBD, Crohns, etc. I would either skip these or be very careful with portions as they could cause digestive distress.

If you’re good with the ingredients, these vanilla frosted buttercream cupcakes will be an amazing treat. I would also recommend my Low-Carb German Chocolate Cake recipe made with Keto and Co products.

Flavor Options

Since these are vanilla, you can really add in any flavorings you like. Some common cupcake flavor options are:

• Banana
• Lemon
• Chopped Nuts
• Berries
• Cinnamon
• Peanut Butter

The sky is the limit in terms of customizing this recipe. You could even fill them with cream or fruit filling! Yum. What a wonderful treat!
