Surprise Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting (THM-S, Low Carb, Sugar Free)

Ingredients

For the Cupcakes:

1 1/2 Cups Trim Healthy Mama Baking Blend

1 1/4 Cups Gentle Sweet (or the equivalent of your favorite sweetener)

2/3 Cup Cocoa Powder

1 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder

1/2 Teaspoon Mineral Salt

2/3 Cup Melted Coconut Oil

1 Teaspoon Vanilla

4 Eggs

1 1/3 Cup Water

For the Filling:

6 Ounces Softened Cream Cheese

2 Tablespoons Gentle Sweet

1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla

3 Tablespoons Lily's Dark Chocolate Chips (optional)

For the Frosting:

8 Ounces Softened Cream Cheese

1/4 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream

1/4 Cup Defatted Peanut Flour

3 Tablespoons Gentle Sweet

1 Tablespoon Creamy Natural Peanut Butter

Preparation

For the Filling:

Beat softened cream cheese, Gentle Sweet, and vanilla until smooth.

For the Cupcakes:

Preheat oven to 350.

Prepare a cupcake pan with liners, and grease liners well.

In a large mixing bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together.

Add melted coconut oil, vanilla, eggs, and water and mix well. (The batter will be thick, not runny.)

Fill cupcake liners 1/3 way full, then add a small dollop of cream cheese filling.

Put more batter on top, making the liners roughly 2/3 full.

Bake in preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until center tops of cupcakes are dry.

Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.

For the Frosting:

Beat softened cream cheese and heavy whipping cream for 2 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients and mix well.

I find the frosting works better if I mix it up, then refrigerate it for 30-45 minutes, then beat it again. This seems to make it a stiffer frosting.
