2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, peanut butter, unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk), eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, sweetener, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more cream if needed.
9. Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them with the peanut butter frosting using a spatula or piping bag.
10. Optionally, sprinkle crushed peanuts or a drizzle of melted sugar-free chocolate on top for added decoration.
11. Serve and enjoy your Keto Peanut Cupcakes.
