Yay for being keto-adapted! It’s pretty remarkable how your body begins to desire less sugar once you remove it from your diet.

Once pumpkin season rolls around, this girl gets a major hankering for pumpkin treats. And it seems like I can’t stock up on enough pumpkin puree cans.

I just get all caught up with the season’s flavors and somehow find myself making something pumpkin all the time. 

Bravenly premium supplements

Thankfully, my family is not complaining and encourages me to keep testing recipes on them.  

These low-carb pumpkin cupcakes came out of a need to create something festive that would be easy to transport. It seems like that time of year when treats and invitations abound.

So, I wanted to be able to have a keto-friendly treat that would also make a great host gift. 

That’s not to say that these delightful muffins shouldn’t be enjoyed at home, too, because these lovelies also make the best snack, dessert, and even quick breakfast.

It is worth that little extra step to get the perfect texture when keto baking

As far as sweeteners are concerned, I used Lakanto’s monk fruit classic granulated and Gold,which is their brown sugar substitute. And for the cream cheese frosting,

I used Lakanto’s confectioner’s sugar sub (powdered). You could, of course, use your favorite sweeteners, but I thought I would share my favorite since I get the most consistent results when I use them.

When I started out to create this recipe, I knew one thing was certain: I wanted the pumpkin and spice flavors to be pronounced.

That’s why you’ll see I was generous when it came time to add spices. I’ve topped these low-carb pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and a slight drizzle of sugar-free caramel sauce, which is totally optional since these muffins can stand alone and be just as delicious.
