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 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.
