Keto Coffee Cake Muffins

These muffins are exactly what you’d expect out of coffee cake— fluffy and moist, with just the right amount of sweetness.

I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed coffee— until I became pregnant. Whether or not you’ve ever experienced pregnancy, I’m sure you’re aware that pregnant women are basically forced into black-listing all sorts of foods (and activities)— caffeine being one of them. Now, believe me— I plan on diving into the topic of pregnancy do’s and don’ts (because there are a whole lotta misconceptions floatin’ around out there)— just not today. Today we’re talking about coffee cake muffins.

Would it surprise you to hear that coffee cake actually contains no coffee whatsoever?

Probably not. Probably everyone in the world knew this before me.

Guess I’ve never been a big fan of coffee cake. In fact, prior to preggers I’d probably eaten it once, maybe twice in my life. Then suddenly this baby comes along and I can’t get enough of the stuff— pregnancy is weird.

Anyhoo, instead of eating ALL the gluten-filled coffee cakes available to me and dealing with the super fun side-effects (especially the atomic gas, that one’s my favorite). I decided to recreate these in gluten-free form— and let me tell you— they did not disappoint.

These delicious muffins are easily assembled in a 3-part process. The first part of the process involves mixing the batter. But before getting anything out of the pantry, go ahead and preheat the oven to 350°F. While the oven is warming, grease up your 6-man muffin tin with real butter (or stuff with liners).

Coffee Cake Batter

Yield: 6 muffins | Serving Size: 1 muffin

Calories: 214 | Fat: 21g | Carb: 4g | Protein: 4g | Sugar: 1g | Fiber: 2g

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups blanched almond flour
• 4 Tablespoons erythritol granular sweetener
• 1 Tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
• 2 large pasture-raised eggs
• 10 Tablespoons organic heavy whipping cream

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large bowl, combine almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, sea salt, and cinnamon. Stir until uniform in color.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg and heavy whipping cream. Once fully incorporated, pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
3. Divide the batter into two bowls. Distribute the batter from one of the bowls into the muffin tin (making 6 jumbo, or 12 mini muffins).

Next up, cinnamon streusel topping.

Cinnamon Streusel Topping

Yield: 1 cup | Serving Size: 2 Tablespoons

Calories: 122 | Fat: 12g | Carb: 2g | Protein: 1g | Sugar: 0g | Fiber: 2g

INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 cup almond flour
• 3 Tablespoons erythritol brown sweetener
• 3 Tablespoons erythritol granular sweetener
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large bowl combine almond flour, sweeteners, cinnamon, and sea salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
2. Add butter and stir until well combined.
3. Crumble over top of muffin batter.

1. Crumble approximately 1 Tablespoon of streusel over top of each muffin (covering the batter).
2. Distribute the remaining batter amongst the muffins (covering the streusel topping).
3. And then again, sprinkle the remaining streusel over the top of each muffin. If you’ve chosen to make 6 jumbo muffins the streusel will be filled to the brim.
4. Once fully assembled, bake the muffins at 350°F for 20 minutes.

While the muffins are baking, it’s time to prepare the vanilla cream icing.
