Directions

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, monkfruit, cocoa powder, baking powder, xantham gum and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, salted caramel syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.

Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients. Continue to whisk with the hand mixer for 3-5 min, until you get a smooth and airy batter.

Fold in the salted caramel chocolate chips.

Divide the batter between 12 silicone or parchment lined cupcakes molds.

Bake 25-30 min, then remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow to cool at least 30 min.

While the cupcakes cool, prepare the whipped cream.

In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, whisk together the heavy cream, mascarpone and salted caramel syrup, until you get a thick whipped cream, about 5 min. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Once the cupcakes have cooled, put a spoonful of the whipped cream on each of the cupcakes.

Optionally, sprinkle with a little cocoa powder.

Serve immediately or refrigerate. The cupcakes can also be frozen, but without the whipped cream, for better results.
