By now you probably know that I have a keto bakery in the Nashville area. This coffee cake muffin is so good and might be the flavor that is everyone’s favorite. Keto coffee cake muffins have a soft vanilla interior with a crunchy cinnamon crumble top.
I wonder now why I didn’t make this sooner. The thing I love the most is how the vanilla glaze on top of the of coffee cake crumble makes me think of cinnamon buns, yet this is high fat, low carb and takes less than 30 minutes to make.
What are the ingredients in the keto coffee cake muffins?
I use my usual combination of almond flour, coconut flour, eggs, avocado oil, sour cream and Swerve as the main ingredients. The cake is moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside.
How do you make a coffee cake top?
I use a combination of almond flour, butter and cinnamon.
What’s the best way to make coffee cake muffins?
I like to use these special tart liners to make individual muffins. You get a flatter muffin, easier to share, easier to eat with more surface for topping. However, you can always use muffin liners to make these.
What is the best technique to make keto muffins?
I like to start by whipping eggs vigorously. When I make cake batters with oil instead of butter, I will use the whipping whisk beater on my kitchen aid instead of the of batter beater. I will then stream the oil in slowly, then add the sour cream/milk mixture. The result is a fluffy muffin. You CAN use butter instead of oil if you choose to. The batter will be thick, so I use this kind of of ice cream scoop to fill the muffin liners.
A simple glaze tops off the muffin just right. I simply use the Swerve Confectioner’s Sweetener with water. You can use heavy cream or milk. Sometimes I use water and a splash of heavy cream.
What Sweetener do I use for keto coffee cake muffins?
I use Swerve granulated for the cake and crumble. I use Swerve confectioner’s for the glaze. You can read my article on Swerve, a powdered erythritol, and why I use it here.
If you don’t have access to Swerve, another alternative is Lakanto erythritol with monk fruit. You will get the same result.
Can you make a bigger keto coffee cake with these recipe?
Yes, you can take this same batter and make a nine-inch layer coffee cake. You may have to cover the top with foil around the edges especially, halfway through, as almond flour tends to brown.
What is the nutritional value of the keto coffeecake muffins?
This is for 12 servings. You may end up getting more muffins. I can usually get 14. 12 servings: Calories: 293 Net Carbs: 2 Fat: 28 Protein: 8
