Keto Wonton Cupcakes are an easy way to have a quick breakfast without depending on high-carb pastry cups. They warm up quickly, and they are perfect for making a quick meal prep. They are ideal for mornings, weekdays, lunch, family gatherings, and dinners. We store these Keto Wonton Cupcakes for 50-60 days in the freezer. The texture is light and fresh, and the protein keeps you satiated. You can add cheese, herbs, or cooked meat without significantly increasing the carb amount. We use some ingredients such as spinach, cheese, eggs, heavy cream, and low-carb wonton wrappers. These “cupcakes” are also kid-friendly and simple to pack for school or work.

INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
HEAVY CREAM:
- This cream creates a creamy center in the cupcakes. For a non-dairy option, you can swap unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk; however, the outcome will be less rich.
EGGS:
- The eggs include protein and structure in the dish. They bond the filling and retain the “cupcakes” light. There is no need for a substitute; however, you can use egg whites instead of whole eggs for a lighter texture.
CHEESE:
- Use any keto-friendly cheese such as pepper jack, Colby, mozzarella, or cheddar. You can completely skip cheese to cut calories while remaining keto.
LOW-CARB WONTON WRAPPERS:
- We use normal wrappers that are heavy in carbs; instead, use almond-flour wrappers or slice low-carb tortillas into squares. Both choices remain hard when baking and are keto-friendly.
SPINACH:
- Use fresh spinach, which gives color, fiber, and minerals in the dish. Frozen spinach also works properly, but make sure to press it dry first to minimize excess moisture.

TIPS:
