What Flour Should You Use?

To make these low carb cupcakes, you will be using both coconut flour and almond flour. By combining these two flours, you combine the best qualities of both flours.

Are Zucchini Keto?

Yes, zucchini are most definitely keto. A one-cup serving of boiled zucchini provides less than 5 grams of net carbs.

Besides being low in net carbs, zucchini are also good sources of fiber. And fiber helps regulate your blood sugars.

Since zucchini are keto, they make great substitutes for potatoes and carrots. For instance, instead of having fries made with potatoes, you can have zucchini fries instead.

Tools to Use

The tools that you will need to make these cupcakes are quite basic. They include a whisk to mix up the eggs and a grater to grate the zucchini.

You will also need cupcake liners which you can find here. And to give your hands a break, and to make sure your frosting is well mixed, you will need an electric mixer. I recommend this one here.

Lastly, you will need a reusable piping bag to decorate the cupcakes. Go for reusable ones to help the environment!
