Create a holiday favorite with these Low Carb Eggnog Cupcakes topped with sugar-free buttercream frosting. Perfect for celebrating the season without the sugar.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners for mini cupcakes or 6 cupcake liners for large cupcakes, depending on your preference. Set the tin aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, ground nutmeg, cinnamon, ground cloves, salt, and sweetener. Ensure the dry ingredients are well distributed.
In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, sour cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the rum extract and mix well to incorporate the flavor.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined. The batter will be thick but smooth, with no lumps.
Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners. For mini cupcakes, use 1 scoop per liner; for large cupcakes, use 2 scoops per liner. Smooth the tops of the batter if needed.
Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. While the cupcakes bake, prepare the buttercream frosting by first beating the cream cheese and butter together. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the sweetener and vanilla extract. Continue beating until the frosting is smooth and well combined. Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, pipe or spread the frosting on top and enjoy!
