This keto coffee cake will make you want to jump out of your bed fast and savor its rich aroma. But this cake is not like your usual carbo-loaded cake. It’s so much healthier and better!

Made with coconut flour, almond flour, and a zero carb sweetener, a slice of this keto cake is enough to satisfy your cravings without feeling guilty in the end. Plus, the crumbs on top will make you want to grab another slice!

The monk fruit sweetener, also known as Lo Han, used in this keto coffee cake comes from a green gourd. It’s so called because it was used by Buddhist monks in the 13th century.

This natural sweetener is about 150 times as sweet as sugar but contains zero calories and zero carbs and does not raise blood sugar or trigger insulin. It’s obviously a great alternative to sugar for people who are on a low carb diet like keto.

So here’s how to prepare this decadent treat from the Keto Chef.
