But, if there's something to look forward to, you practically want to jump out of bed - at least I do.

Well, this keto cinnamon coffee cakewill have you leaping out of bed in the morning and sprinting to the kitchen.

Honestly, I've never made a keto breakfast recipe that I was so excited to eat in the morning.

This coffee cake is sosoft, so moist, and so butterythat I could seriously eat it on its own. But the cinnamon "sugar" crumble gives it a drool-worthy flavor.

Now, of course, it would be amazing if we stopped there, but you know I had to make this the best keto coffee cake in the world. So, it's finished off with a glaze on top that makes each bite melt in your mouth.

And, on top of beingincredibly delicious, this low carb coffee cake is so easy to make too.

It's also pretty addicting. In fact, I can almost guarantee after you make it once, you'll want to whip this up on a weekly basis.

And, honestly, I can't blame you for wanting to do that since each slice has just 2 NET CARBS.

KETO COFFEE CAKE INGREDIENTS

Adding to all of the amazing things about this recipe is that you only need allcommonketo baking ingredients to make it.

And you probably have everything you need to make this coffee cake right now!

Here is what you'll need for the cake:

• 2 ½ Cups Almond Flour
• 1 Cup Confectioners Swerve
• 1 ½ Teaspoons Baking powder
• 4 Eggs
• ½ Cup Almond Milk
• 4 Tbsps melted salted butter

For the cinnamon "sugar" crumble:

• 1 Cup Almond flour
• 1 Cup Brown Swerve
• 6 Tbsps Melted salted Butter
• 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
• Pinch of Nutmeg

And for the glaze:

• ⅔ Confectioners Swerve
• 2-3 Tbsps almond milk

Like I said, pretty simple ingredients. And what's great about these ingredients is that you can use them to make many of my other keto recipes, like this keto vanilla cake, these keto snickerdoodle cookies, these keto churros, or even these keto banana pancakes.

KETO FLOURS TO USE

Ok, so we'll be using almond flourfor the base of the cake, and part of the cinnamon sugar crumble.

But, if you do not want to use almond flour - or are allergic to it - you can substitute it out with either an equal amount of walnut flour, sunflower seed flour, or even pecan flour. Either one of these will work to make the cake and crumble.

With that said,DO NOT use coconut flour as a replacementfor either part of this recipe. Coconut flour isnotan equal substitute for almond flour, and it is more absorbent. So if you use it, it willdryoutyour cake and make it too crumbly.

CREATING A SUGAR FREE COFFEE CAKE

Since this is a keto recipe, we will, of course, be making asugar-freecoffee cake.

And to do this, we will need to use a keto sweetener for all three parts of the recipe. For the cake and glaze, I usedConfectioners Swerve. And for the sugar crumble, I usedBrown Swerve.

Swerve is a0 calorie,sugar-freesweetener with theexact amount of sweetnessas regular sugar. So it is perfect for this coffee cake.

But if you want other options, you can also use Lakanto's Powdered Sweetener for the cake and glaze. As far as brown sugar replacements go, I think Brown Swerve is by far the best, especially for this recipe, soI don't suggest substituting it with anything else.

HOW TO MAKE KETO COFFEE CAKE

As I said earlier, this recipe is so easy to make. And it doesn't take much time at all!

In less than an hour, you'll have amasterpieceof a coffee cake fresh out of the oven.

STEP 1: PREP WORK

First things first, preheat your oven to350°F (180°C).

Then we will make the crumble - take out a small bowl andaddall of your cinnamon sugar crumble ingredientsto it. Mix them until combined and crumbly, then set aside.

Next,addall of your dry ingredients for the cake -almond flour, confectioners swerve, baking powder- to a large bowl and mix them until combined.

Thenaddyour liquid ingredients for the cake -eggs, almond milk, melted butter- to a medium-sized bowl and mix them until well combined.

Lastly,pour your liquid ingredients into the large bowl of dry ingredientsandmixeverything together with a spatula until athick cake batter forms.

STEP 2: ASSEMBLING & BAKING

First, line an11x7"cake tray with parchment paper and coat it with baking spray.

Thenpour ⅔ of your batter into the cake tray. Now, add ½ of your crumble mixtureyou set aside earlier to the top of the batter, and press it into the batter with your spatula.

Next,cover the crumblewith the rest of your cake batterand top it with the other½ of the crumble.

Put your cake in the oven andbake for 40 minutes,covering it with tin foil at the20-minutemark so the crumble doesn't burn.

Once you can insert a toothpick into the cake and it comes outclean, your cake is done.

STEP 3: GLAZING YOUR COFFEE CAKE

So, once your coffee cake has reached room temperature, you can make the glaze.

Mixyour two glaze ingredients in a small bowl until combined, and you have asmooth glaze.

Then, drizzle the glaze over the top of your coffee cake, and cut it into 12 slices!

Dig in and enjoy.

STORING YOUR KETO COFFEE CAKE

So, as I just mentioned, this recipe makes 12servings of coffee cake. So you should have plenty leftover to enjoy throughout the week.

But if you put it out at a party, I can't guarantee that there will be any left.

Anyways, if you do have leftovers, you can put them in an airtight container where they will last atroom temperaturefor up to2days and in thefridgefor up to5days.

And if you want to keep it for longer, you canfreezeyour coffee cake for2-3months. Just individually wrap each piece of cake in plastic wrap, then put it in a freezer-safe bag.

When you want to enjoy a piece, let itthawto room temperature. Then if you want to warm it up, either pop it in the microwave or put it in a300°Foven until warm.
