If you have ever wondered how do I bake the perfect cupcakes, it really can start right here.

First of all, I should point out the 'perfect is in the eyes of the beholder'. You probably agree with me.

My biggest advice for anyone asking how to make the best cupcake starts with this.

Use fresh ingredients especially when it comes to your leavening agents. Having out of date baking powder can really sink your cupcakes. 🙁
 

This recipe is for anyone asking how do you make sugar free cupcakes from scratch.

I must say that making sugar free cupcakes from scratch is not all that different from making regular cupcakes from scratch. The biggest difference is that instead of sugar, we will use sugar alternative .

There are a few adjustments that have been made to this recipe as a result of the sugar alternative.

When it comes to choosing a sugar alternative that will work in this recipe, my biggest suggestion for best results is to use a granular sugar alternative that measures 1:1 with sugar. Read the label to make sure that the sugar alternative does and that it can be used in baking.

However, you could also make these low carb by subbing in low carb Carbalose flour alternative for the all purpose flour. You can also make these cupcakes gluten free by subbing in this all purpose gluten free flour.

I also get requests for making low carb or keto cupcakes.

You can try subbing in a keto flour or low carbohydrate flour for the all purpose flour (such as carbalose) used in this recipe.

As I just mentioned, read the label on the packaging of the ingredients that you use.

This means the flour alternative as well as the sugar alternative that you use. Make sure that it is what you are looking for, measures 1:1 with what you are replacing it with, and can be used in baking as well as other information that is specific to that product.

I just mentioned that you can try subbing in a keto flour or low carbohydrate flour for the all purpose flour (such as carbalose) used in this recipe. Also, when it comes to choosing a sugar alternative that will work in this recipe, my biggest suggestion for best results is to use a granular sugar alternative that measures 1:1 with sugar.

Here are some more helpful cupcake making tips for you.

  1. For best results, I tell my readers to always use fresh ingredients for the best results. This is especially true of leavening agents such as baking powder.
  2. Resist the urge to fill the baking cups more than ¾ full. Doing so can cause your cupcakes to bake over the edges of the cups and onto the pan, a pain to clean up.
  3. Make your cupcakes more impressive by using an extra large cupcake pan or extra small or mini cupcake pan.
  4. Also, please be careful to not overmix your cupcakes as overmixing will cause the gluten to overreact making your cupcakes tough among other problems that can ruin your cupcakes.

 

Baking moist and fluffy cupcakes is the goal of every baker.

You can create moist and fluffy cupcakes by using the ingredients mentioned in the ingredient list below.
Also especially is important is to resist the urge to overmix your batter as overmixing will make the gluten overreact which will decrease the air in your batter that is needed to make your cupcakes big and pretty.

The recipe for Sugar Free Vanilla Cupcakes

I mentioned above that you can try subbing in a keto flour or low carbohydrate flour for the all purpose flour (such as carbalose) used in this recipe. Also, when it comes to choosing a sugar alternative that will work in this recipe, my biggest suggestion for best results is to use a granular sugar alternative that measures 1:1 with sugar.

Also mentioned, for best results, I tell my readers to always use fresh ingredients for the best results.
Resist the urge to fill the baking cups more than ¾ full. Doing so can cause your cupcakes to bake over the edges of the cups and onto the pan, a pain to clean up.
 

Ingredients needed to make these sugar free cupcakes.

 

  • All purpose flour 1 ½ cups. Make this low carb or gluten free by subbing in other flour. Carbalose low carb flour alternative  or  gluten free all purpose flour alternative. Be sure to see the packaging on the label of any alternative that you use to see if there are adjustments that will need to be made. Often they will suggest adding additional liquids or fats.
  • Baking Powder- 1 ½ teaspoons.
  • Eggs- 4.
  • Sugar Alternative- 1 ¾ cups equivalent to sugar.
    For best results, please use a granulated Sugar Alternative that measures 1:1 with sugar and is suitable for baking with.
  • Butter- 1 ¾ sticks (¾ cup) melted.
  • Vanilla Extract- 2 teaspoons.
  • Milk- ½ cup and additional (up to ¾ cup total) if batter seems too thick. Thickeneing can happen when we use sugar alternatives. We will add this divided.

How to make Sugar Free Vanilla Cupcakes

  • Preheat your oven to 325 and prep your cupcake pan for nonstick. You can use nonstick or cupcake liners.
  • In a medium bowl, use a whisk to combine together the flour (or alternative) and the baking powder. Set this aside.
  • Next, in a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and the sugar alternative. Beat for about two minutes on medium. Then turn the mixer down and pour in the melted butter and then the vanilla while the mixer is mixing.
  • Stop the mixer, add about half of the flour mixture from the first bowl, mix for 10 seconds and then add ¼ cup of milk and mix for another 10 seconds.
  • Repeat the last step by adding the flour mixture and then ¼ cup of milk.
  • If the batter appears to be too thick (you will need to use your judgment from past experiences with cupcake batters) add a tablespoon of milk at a time, stirring by hand, until you reach your desired thickness. Do not add more than an additional ¼ cup of milk. If you do not feel comfortable doing this simple just go with the ½ cup of milk.
  • For regular sized cupcakes, bake these for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow these cupcakes to cool thoroughly before frosting.
