How to make Low Carb Vanilla Bean Cupcakes
Have your eggs and butter at room temperature. Set the oven to 325°. Place cupcake liners in a cupcake pan.
Separate the egg yolks from the whites and whisk until they are frothy.
In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream the coconut oil until light, then add the sweetener. Add the egg whites to the coconut oil mixture.
Make sure to stop and scrape the bowl down several times.
Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, then add the sour cream and heavy cream. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined. Blend in the vanilla bean paste or vanilla from inside the vanilla bean pod.
Fill the cupcake liners two-thirds of the way full.
Bake in the oven for 23-25 minutes.
