Hubby Approved Surprise Salted Caramel Cupcakes

I’ve made this recipe several times now, the first time being at Sweet Shyanne’s 2nd birthday party, and people have not stopped talking about them!

Mr. Awesome has jumped on the keto/THM bandwagon and has been asking for these again and again… the kids beg for them as well so I guess I just need to start making a double batch of them. The first time I saw these cupcakes mentioned was in the Trim Healthy Table cookbook and I thought some silly thoughts about the ‘surprise’ ingredient but I’m so glad I decided to give them a try and I think you will be too!

Easy Sourdough Fruit Cobbler with sugar-free options

I’m trying to stay away from sugar as my body doesn’t seem to like it very much and I’ve been incorporating a lot of sourdough into our meals so this was a creation I came up with.

Top it with some sugar-free caramel syrup and a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious treat!

In the photo, I put the cobbler dough on top but it also works well if you want to spread the dough on the bottom of the pan first and put the fruit on top.

If you don’t have any sourdough on hand then you may want to check out my other Fruit Cobbler recipe.

This makes enough for an 8×8 pan.

Ingredients:

Filling:

  • 1-2 c. fruit, chopped or sliced
  • 1/4-1/2 c. Monkfruit ( I like to use the golden for this recipe) or sugar or brown sugar

Dough batter:

  • ¼ c + 2 T all-purpose flour
  • ½ t. baking powder
  • ¼ t. baking soda
  • A good pinch of salt
  • 3 T. butter
  • ½ c. sourdough starter or discard

Topping: (optional)

  • 1 T. melted butter
  • 1 ½ t. Monkfruit or sugar

Optional toppings:

  • Ice cream
  • Caramel sauce
  • Whipped cream

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Place 3 T. butter in pan and set in the oven to melt.

Mix the fruit and sweetener together and set to side.

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Mix well.

Add in the melted butter from the pan and the sourdough starter. Stir just until combined.

Add the fruit or batter to the pan and then add the other to the top.

Drizzle the butter on top, if desired and then sprinkle with sweetener.

Bake 30-45 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve warm or cold with ice cream and toppings, as desired.

Easy Fruit Cobbler with sugar-free options

We’ve been gifted several boxes of peaches over the last couple of weeks so we’ve been making quite a bit of cobbler as well as putting some away in the freezer. I’m hoping to make some peach butter or preserves too.

This is really good with a drizzle of caramel sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
