Making the Cinnamon Topping 

The cinnamon topping for the keto cinnamon roll coffee cake is the perfect addition of texture and flavor. 

As the topping, along with all other ingredients, come together so unbelievably well, to make the cake taste identical to it’s non-keto counterpart.

If you miss sweet delicious coffee cakes, and want a guilty pleasure dessert that is completely innocent as far as carbs are concerned, then look no further!

Coffee cake really is one of the best keto desserts, since it’s main components are keto-friendly! 

I added some pecans for more crunch and texture to the cinnamon topping but it’s totally optional. You can add pecans or walnuts if you desire a more crunchy texture. 

Adding Coffee to the Keto Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake 

I suggest using instant coffee as it is faster to make, and it will blend much easier with the other ingredients. When using instant espresso, first in a separate cup, add 2 tsp of water to the espresso and mix until fully dissolved. 

When the coffee is fully dissolved, add it to the cinnamon topping mixture.

How to Make the Cream Cheese Icing

The icing is the best compliment to this unbelievably buttery cake. I’m so glad that cream cheese is keto-friendly! I’ve found so many uses for it, especially when it comes to desserts so rich in flavor like this one. 

It’s very simple to make the cream cheese icing.

Here are the main steps:

  1. Soften the cream cheese – you can use the microwave if it has a butter softening option, or leave it outside of the fridge for a couple of hours before using it.


  2. Sift your powdered sweetener– by sifting it you’ll get rid of any clumping and your icing will be smoother.


  3. Add some almond milk – ensure it is at room temperature so it mixes well with the other ingredients.
