Yield: 12 mini cakes
Serving size: 1 mini cake
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1½ cups (½ bag) Fearless Keto Maple Pancake & Muffin Mix
- 3 Tbsp Lakanto Golden Monkfruit sweetener or any other “brown” sweetener
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 Tbsp butter, softened
- 2 large eggs + 1 egg white (can use 3 whole eggs if you like a more “eggy” flavor)
- 1 to 2 Tbsp unsweetened nut milk (only if needed in case batter is too thick)
- Additional butter/coconut oil for oiling muffin tin (silicone molds might not need oiling)
For the Glaze:
- 3 Tbsp butter, melted
- 3 Tbsp powdered sugar-free sweetener (i.e. Swerve, Lakanto, Steviva brands)
- 1 Tbsp sugar-free maple syrup
Instructions
For the Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Oil a muffin tin or use liners if preferred. Alternatively, place a 12-cavity silicone pan or one dozen 2½” wide x 1” deep individual decorative molds on a baking sheet. The baking sheet will stabilize the silicone molds. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: the maple mix, sweetener, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, add the cream cheese, and, using a hand or electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy.
- Add the butter and continue to mix until well incorporated, followed by the eggs and egg white and continue to blend for at least 1 minute until reaching a smooth consistency.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter/cheese/egg mixture, and continue to use a hand/electric mixer to blend ingredients together until a smooth batter is formed.
- If batter is too thick to pour into the muffin cavities/silicone molds, you can add 1-2 Tbsp of nut milk to the batter (avoid over-thinning).
- Using a tablespoon, scoop 2 Tbsp of batter evenly into each muffin cavity.
- Bake for 19 to 20 minutes. (Note: mini cakes will continue to cook after removing from oven so avoid overbaking).
- Prepare the glaze, allowing time for the cakes to cool before removing them from the muffin tin/molds.
For the Glaze:
- Combine all glaze ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until well combined and slightly thickened.
- Drizzle on top of each mini cake and enjoy!
- Place leftover mini cakes in an airtight container and either refrigerate or freeze.
