Ingredients needed For Air Fryer Keto Red Velvet Cupcakes

Do you have an air fryer? If so, you’re in luck because I’m going to show you how to make keto red velvet cupcakes in your air fryer! These are perfect for Valentine’s Day or any other special occasion. Plus, they’re much healthier than traditional cupcakes since no sugar or flour is needed. So let’s get started!

Almond Flour and Coconut Flour: Both of these flours are great substitutes for baking using keto-friendly ingredients.
Eggs: Use large and room-temperature eggs.
Baking Powder: Baking powder is keto since it has no carbs or sugar.
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: I used Hershey’s Coca which contains no carbs or sugar.
Butter: Use salted and room temperature butter.
Heavy Whipping Cream: A great way to get a creamy texture for your cupcakes, with no sugar.
Pure Vanilla Extract: Remember to use a good quality vanilla extract, such as the one by McCormicks.
Stevia: I used granulated stevia, but any keto or low-carb sugar substitute will work.
Red Food Coloring: Optional, but will add the traditional red color to your cupcakes.

How To Cook Air Fryer Keto Red Velvet Cupcake

In a separate bowl, add the flour, stevia, baking powder, and cocoa. Combine well and remove any lumps that may form or appear. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and beat to combine. Add the butter and red food coloring. For the red food coloring add drops one at a time until you reach your desired pigment.

Fill cupcake liners about ¾ of the way. Air fry for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean. Cool completely before adding a sugar-free cream cheese frosting.

Pro Tips:

Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring all your refrigerated ingredients to room temperature before making cupcake batter.
Don’t Overbake: Since every air fryer is slightly different it’s important that you check on the cupcakes as they cook up. Once you can insert a toothpick into the middle of the cupcake and it comes out clean, you can remove the cupcakes from the air fryer.
Cool Before Frosting: To make sure you have a perfect cupcake, be sure to cool it completely before frosting. Otherwise, you will find that your icing will run off the cupcakes. So, leave them on the counter for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are cool to the touch.

Do I Have To Use Red Food Coloring?

The red velvet cake is often associated with food coloring, but what goes on its surface has less to do with how it tastes and more so with the rich chocolate flavor.

You do not need to use any food coloring, or you can use natural food coloring, which is made from beets. You can purchase it at health grocery stores or order it on Amazon.com.

Can I Make These Cupcakes Without Eggs?

Yes, if you want to eliminate the eggs, you can always use an egg subsite. Remember to use the same number of eggs, as called for the recipe below.

Storing, Making Ahead Of Time, and Freezing Cupcakes

To Store: Let any of your cupcakes cool to room temperature and then place them into an airtight container. They will last in the refrigerator for about 2 to 3 days.

Make-Ahead: If you want to make them ahead of time, you can prepare them, but not frost them until they are ready to serve.

To Freeze: If you want to double or even trip this recipe, you freeze a batch. Do not frost them, just freeze them as is, in either a freezer-safe container or freezer bag. They will keep in the freezer for about 4 to 5 months. When you are ready to use your keto cupcakes, place them into the refrigerator overnight to thaw.
