I absolutely love playing around with bizarre flavor combinations that not only work together, but create a decadent flavor that thrives in any form. Eating a low-carb diet doesn’t mean that you can’t be creative with your food! We don’t just want to create low-carb versions of familiar foods, but also introduce you to crave-worthy recipes that you may not have even heard of before.  My goal is always to make low-carb eating an amazing experience. Another recipe on this blog that uses a unique combination of flavors is the Peppered Strawberry Cheesecake– if you like this recipe, I would definitely recommend trying out that cheesecake as well!

While this recipe is geared for making cupcakes, you can easily use this batter to make whatever your heart may desire- baked donuts, bunt cakes, or even a cake. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly. 

I hope you enjoy these scrumptious little cupcakes!
