These Keto Coffee Cake Muffins are so tasty that you won't believe they are keto-friendly. The swirl of cinnamon, the sweetness of BochaSweet, and the hint of vanilla guarantee they'll satisfy your tastebuds and help you stick to your ketogenic diet.

Actually, my theory is, that if you can learn how to cook and bake keto-friendly... that you'll be much more likely to stick to the keto diet and achieve your health goals.

When I first started the keto diet, I made recipe after recipe... completely frustrated by the bland and garbage-worthy results.

Now, having grown up baking and creating my own recipes, I became determined to experiment and create delicious keto recipes for my husband, friends, and family. These were so well received that this blog & the YouTube Channel "Tara's Keto Kitchen" was born!

Ingredients for Keto Coffee Cake Muffins

High-quality ingredients make a huge difference in this recipe and in keto baking in general. Often, inexpensive ingredients contain hidden fillers and are sometimes so shelf stale that the taste falls flat. I encourage you to invest in high-quality ingredients... after all... your long-term health is worth an investment today.

So, as requested by so many of you... here are the ingredients I've used for this keto recipe:

  • Almond Flour
  • Xanthan Gum
  • BochaSweet (The best sugar substitute on the planet!)
  • Cinnamon
  • Baking Powder
  • Salt
  • Vanilla
  • A muffin tin
  • Plus, a few things you'll need from your local grocers: heavy cream and two fresh large eggs.

Can I Substitute _______?

Substituting coconut flour for almond flour will not work in this recipe without a number of other adjustments. I am working on perfecting the coconut flour version of these keto coffee cake muffins.

Make sure you've subscribed to my newsletter so you're alerted each week when a new keto recipe or training is released.

Substituting another alternative sweetener will work in this recipe. Here are a few others I would recommend if you can't get your hands on BochaSweet:

  • Monk Fruit Sweetener
  • Stevia
  • Erythritol

Keep in mind that people digest alternative sweeteners differently because our microbiomes are unique. For example, I do not tolerate xylitol at all... it's horrible. I can tolerate a small amount of erythritol but not a lot. Stevia has never been a problem for me. I stick to the liquid stevia options because the blends contain erythritol which I know I don't tolerate in high amounts. For this reason, when I need a granular sugar substitute I always use Bocha Sweet and sometimes mix it with liquid stevia.

The point is that, over time, you'll figure out what works for you. Keto desserts are meant to be eaten in moderation so keep that in mind too.

Now for the tutorial video on how to make these delicious keto coffee cake muffins!

Tutorial Video: Keto Coffee Cake Muffins

My keto coffee cake muffins are easy to make and so good that my kids roll their eyes back in their heads when they take a bite. I have been playing around with a streusel topping, but I haven't gotten it quite right yet. My husband thinks that's not necessary.... what do you think? Make 'em and let me know! Should I keep working on that?

    Delicious! I made these in my silicon bagel/doughnut molds and they were absolutely fantastic.

    I had some keto almond streusel mix in the fridge from some other baking and used some on half of the doughnuts - it was good, but the ones without were also delicious.

    I've stored it in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months without any issues.

    I’m anxious to try these since I’m trying Bocha Sweet as a replacement for Swerve. I’m curious if you get a migraine from Erythritol? I tried a recipe using Swerve that I thought was a bit too sweet and got a migraine almost immediately. Do you have any ratios for substituting Bocha Sweet for Swerve in recipes?
