🥘 Ingredients
Cream cheese, I found out years ago when I first made this blueberry coffee cake with cream cheese that it was a great ingredient to use in a recipe like this. It gives the recipe body and is a little more dense. It also adds great flavor.
Butter, adds more fat and moisture.
Sugar free sweetener. Everyone has their own preferences. I used granulated erythritol when testing this recipe. However I feel that classic monkfruit would work as well.
Almond Flour and coconut flour. Both are gluten free flours. Almond flour will give it texture and coconut flour will help in binding the ingredients together. It works similar to gluten in regular flour but it has super absorbency powers, so a little goes a long way.
Baking powder to leven the recipe and salt to compliment the flavor.
Almond extract is an excellent flavor that goes really well with raspberry. I always have this in my cupboard!
Fresh Raspberries. These can usually be found year round in the grocery stores now. However when they are in season, grab some from the farmer's market for the best berries!

Reader Recommendation
One of my readers made this coffee cake and substituted a sugar free cranberry sauce for the raspberries. She placed the cranberry sauce on top of the cake and gave it a swirl into the cake. This would be a great adaptation for a holiday brunch.
The crumb on this coffee cake is perfection. You don't want to stop eating it. In all reality, you want to savor it slowly with your coffee. Then when you're done, you look forward to your afternoon snack or next morning meal!

Your welcome! Hope you love it too!
Jane
So delicious! I’m experimenting with sugar free cranberry sauce In preparation for Thanksgiving so used dollops of the sauce in place of the raspberries and swirled into the batter. I also topped with slice almonds before baking . Great flexible recipe - thanks!

What is Erythritol and where do I buy it?

Hi Dolly, Erythritol is a sugar substitute. I buy the Swerve brand and usually get it on Amazon. Y

Cafe Bustelo is life! I love it. 🙂 This coffee cake looks so good! Can't wait to make it.
Shelby
Thank you! I hope you love it as much as we did!
Ellen
How about stevia?
Shelby
Hi Ellen, I haven't tried this with Stevia, I am going to assume it would work, but I would read the bag and make sure your using the right amount for measurements. I think with Stevia you may not need as much, but I'm not sure.
Angela
I meant sugar!
Angela
Can i use surar in place of the cup of artificial sweetener?
Shelby
Hi Angela, yes, you can use sugar in place of the artificial sweetener. Enjoy!
Shelby
Hi Angela! I do want to say that if you do use sugar, this is no longer a Keto recipe.
