Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- For the Shortcake Cups:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- For the Strawberry Filling:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- For the Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined and a batter forms.
- Divide the batter evenly among the greased muffin cups.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the shortcake cups are cooling, prepare the strawberry filling. Combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl. Toss well and let sit for at least 15 minutes to release the juices.
- For the whipped cream, beat heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form.
- To assemble, cut the cooled shortcake cups in half horizontally. Spoon a generous amount of the strawberry filling onto the bottom half, add a dollop of whipped cream, and place the top half back on. Add more strawberries and whipped cream on top if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
These shortcake cups can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Assemble with strawberries and whipped cream just before serving for best results.
