When you’re following a keto diet, baked goods are mostly off the list. But, there are still a few acceptable sweet treats that can be baked using almond and/or coconut flour and a keto-friendly sugar substitute. 

This coffee cake, complete with a sweet crumb topping, boasts just 3g of net carbs per serving. It’s the perfect way to satisfy that sweet tooth, while still remaining in ketosis. 

This keto coffee cake features an almond flour-based batter that's sweetened with a keto-friendly sweetener- golden monk fruit. It also includes a crumbly, cinnamon-flavored streusel topping to add a bit of texture and flavor. I recommend using golden monk fruit or a brown sugar substitute for a darker, coffee cake look. This moist cake is perfect for brunch, dessert, or even a sweet snack! All you need is a mixing bowl and a whisk. I do recommend covering the cake with aluminum foil for the first 10-15 minutes of baking to prevent the top from becoming too browned. Also, cool completely before slicing. The cake will become even a bit firmer after being stored in the fridge.

This keto coffee cake is a great option for those looking to indulge in a sweet treat without spiking their blood sugar!

How to Make Sugar-Free Coffee Cake

Keto Streusel Topping

A typical streusel consists of sugar or brown sugar, flour, and butter. Sometimes there are also oats. So, only butter is keto-friendly. This keto streusel uses butter, almond flour, and a golden monk fruit or brown sugar substitute. All of the sweetness with very little of the sugar and carbs!

Why is it called coffee cake?

Coffee cake is a single-layer cake, topped with a layer of streusel and usually features a bit of cinnamon or nuts. There's no coffee inside, but the dish is most often served with coffee or tea- hence the name.

‍

What kind of flour is keto-friendly?

The friendliest keto flour is almond flour, where 1/4 cup has 3g of net carbs and 3g of fiber. Coconut flour is also a great choice with 8g of net carbs and 10g of fiber in 1/4 cup.
