INSTRUCTION:

TO MAKE THE CUPCAKES:

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Put the parchment cups in the muffin tin and then apply the oil in the tin with the brush.
Take a large bowl and add salt, sweetener, cocoa powder, baking powder, coconut flour, & protein powder & mix all the components with the whisk.
Then add the peppermint extract, butter, & eggs in the same bowl and properly mix all of them and form a smooth batter.
Include a quarter cup of coffee at a time to make the batter a little thick but scoopable.
Transfer the batter evenly to all the cavities of the muffin tin.
Bake these peppermint cupcakes for about twenty to twenty-five minutes or till they get firm to touch.
When these peppermint cupcakes are prepared then take them out and put them in the corner to get chill.

FOR PREPARING THE FROSTING:

Put a big bowl on shelf & include the butter & cream cheese and beat them till they get even for around two minutes.
Include the peppermint extract, sweetener, and vanilla extract to the bowl & beat them again.
Then add the whipping cream in the same bowl slowly and beat them till we get a consistency to spread the frosting.
Include this frosting in the piping bag with the spoon & pip it on these peppermint cupcakes.
Decorate the cupcakes with keto-friendly sprinkles or chocolate chips.

SERVING IDEAS:

Put the cupcakes on the cake stand or you can use tier stands to put the cupcakes, and decorate the stand or tier with mint leaves or chocolate shavings or with the rosemary.
We can also make mini gift boxes of these cupcakes and gift them on some holiday or birthday party.
You can make a few more desserts and put these pepper mint cupcakes as a dessert buffet and decorate it beautifully along with them.
You can also serve these cupcakes along with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
We can also arrange these peppermint cupcakes like a tree tower.

TIPS:

We should use the ambient temperature ingredients to make these peppermint cupcakes so that the batter is smooth. The butter & cream cheese which we use to make frosting should be at room temperature so they get properly beat.
It is very important to measure the ingredients properly during the baking of keto-friendly things especially when we use coconut flour; because if little quantity of coconut flour increases it will make the cupcakes very dry.
You can properly combine all the components and mix all of them properly so that a smooth batter is obtained and no lumps are formed.
If our peppermint cream cheese frosting is looking thick then we can add one to two teaspoons of keto-friendly milk or whipping cream to modify its consistency.
We can decorate our cupcakes then ensure that the sprinkles and chocolate chips should be keto-friendly.
Include the coffee to the batter slowly and mix them in intervals so that the batter will not become extra thick, & bitter.
When the cupcakes are done check them with the toothpicks if they are done or not.
