If anyone knows me, they know I looovvveeee my sweets….And being a gal on KETO, you have to get creative with different ingredients to try to mirror your favorite treats. When celebrating birthdays, I crave the basic cupcake or cake to enjoy, and since my hubby’s birthday was last month and my birthday is coming up (wink, wink), it was only right that I share with you the KETO cupcake recipe I made for him (yes, we are a KETO couple).
Homemade icing, homemade sugar free sprinkles and homemade frosting. Yup, I did that, so we could both enjoy his birthday without the guilt of eating something ‘off track’.
First, I made the sprinkles……I made a small batch since I was making cupcakes instead of a cake:
3/4 Cup Confectioners Swerve
1 Large Egg White, pasteurized
1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp Lemon Juice
Food Coloring Of Your Choice
1. Mix all the ingredients in a medium size bowl. Decide how many different colored sprinkles you would like and scoop out that amount into its own smaller bowl. For instance, I wanted three different colored sprinkles: red, green, & yellow, so I scooped one batch of mixture three times into three different smaller bowls.
2. Working with one color at a time, mix in your choice of food coloring. Transfer the colored mixture to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Choose the tip based on how thick or thin you want your sprinkles to be. No pastry bags? Use a zip-lock bag and cut the tip off of one corner. I used this zip-lock method since I didn’t have a baker’s piping bag.
3. After transferring each colored mixture into its own makeshift piping bag, I then laid a couple of sheets of parchment paper to a flat sheet, in this case, I actually used several cookie sheets for easier placement & piped out lines of each colored mixture out to let them dry overnight.
4. The next morning, I broke up each piping line to sprinkle size and put them in a mason jar until I was ready to use them for my cupcake topping.
There you have it! Sugar free Homemade Keto Sprinkles! Very simple with just a few ingredients!
Side note: Don’t worry about the sizing or the way they look….people will get that they are sprinkles by the taste too!
