Keto Pumpkin Streusel Cupcakes

One bite of these low carb pumpkin streusel cupcakes, and you will have to agree that eating this way can be pretty easy. If you are feeling deprived while eating keto, you and I need to talk, so pull up a chair. 

You see I am a firm believer that with the right keto recipes you can master a ketogenic diet, and reap the benefits of reducing your carbs and entering into a state of ketosis.

What’s neat about these keto pumpkin streusel cupcakes, is that they can be enjoyed any time of day. Have them as a meal for a quick breakfast, dessert, or when you need a little snack to tie you over before your next meal.

Why not make two batches and freeze one? While one is in the oven you can make the other. This way you are armed and ready to face pumpkin season.

Freezing these cupcakes is a great way to plan your snacks or meal. I usually let mine defrost overnight in the refrigerator but I’ve also let it sit on the counter and in less than an hour they are ready to eat.  

What’s great about having a keto pumpkin treat in a cupcake, is that it gives a portion-controlled option. Make these a smart choice while counting your macros. 

My recipe for keto pumpkin cupcakes features streusel topping because this girl thinks that the best part about a coffee cake is yummy streusel crumb. Who’s with me on this? 

How To Make Keto Pumpkin Cupcakes

These pumpkin cupcakes are made with a combination of both super-fine almond flour and coconut flour. The almond flour needs a blanched variety because you won’t get the same results with an almond meal. Substituting for an almond meal will result in a very dense cupcake. 

In addition to the almond flour, it uses some coconut flour to help absorb some of the moisture from the pumpkin puree so that it’s not soggy.

I’ve also added a tablespoon of psyllium husk powder, which is simply fiber. That little bit of extra fiber gives them the perfect crumb texture and it helps in maintaining the structure of these cupcakes. 

Plus, the psyllium husk powder makes this a delicious way to add more fiber to your keto diet. Winning!

Keto Pumpkin Streusel Cupcakes Tips

The following are some questions I’ve been asked about this recipe and so I thought I would address them below. 

Is pumpkin keto-friendly? Why yes, in fact, many people doing keto enjoy pumpkin recipes. Keep in mind that the amount of pumpkin puree used is spread out throughout the entire recipe and therefore makes it doable. And don’t make the mistake of using pumpkin pie filling since it’s pre-sweetened and therefore loaded with sugar. 

Can you make these low carb pumpkin cupcakes without the streusel topping? Sure you can. Although, I don’t know why you would deprive yourself of the keto streusel topping? Since it’s totally low in carbs and keto-friendly. LOL, just saying.

Is it possible to use less streusel topping on these cupcakes? Of course, you can. Just use half of the ingredients in the streusel recipe. I won’t judge you for this. I promise. 

Can you make these pumpkin cupcakes with coconut flour alone? Well, not this recipe but you can use my recipe for Keto Streusel Coconut Flour Coffee Cake, and this way you can enjoy a pumpkin cupcake that is also nut-free.
