Red velvet cupcakes made with coconut flour make a delicious low carb and gluten free option. Decorated with a cream cheese topping makes them extra tempting.

I love the bright colour of red velvet cupcakes. This recipe should give you a lovely moist cupcake. The topping is made out of cream cheese and these should be stored in the refrigerator.

    Hi these look great! Could I use butter instead of coconut oil?
    Do these taste like coconut? I do enjoy coconut but I want to make sure the red velvet flavour comes through not the coconut one!
