Tips For Making The Perfect Keto Pumpkin Streusel Coffee Cake

  • Make sure all your ingredients for the cake batter are at room temperature. This will allow for easy mixing.
  • Use only pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. You want to use puree because it does not contain any added sugar or spices.
  • Be sure to melt the butter and allow it to cool entirely before creating the wet mixture.  Then, once cooled, add the butter to the eggs, pumpkin puree, and sour cream.
  • Combine all your dry ingredients in a separate bowl before adding them to the wet ingredients. This way, everything gets well incorporated.
  • I love being generous with my spices, and this pumpkin coffee cake is no exception. Feel free to substitute the spices listed for pumpkin pie spice.

Making The Perfect Keto Streusel Topping

It only takes a few basic steps to create an amazing streusel topping that is low in carbs and keto-friendly.

The reason you want a great keto streusel is that you can add this to some of our other keto cakes to further enhance them.

Trust me, once you embrace this keto streusel topping, you’ll want to add it to just about any treat. I recommend you try it on our keto cream cheese pound cake for a nice little twist.

I then topped the pumpkin streusel coffee cake recipe with a little sweet glaze made with a little confectioner’s sugar substitute for a great way to finish the cake.

You can substitute the coconut flour in the streusel topping for 1 cup of almond flour for a coffee cake made entirely of almond flour.

Keto Streusel Topping Tips

  • Combine all the keto streusel dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
  • To this mixture, add small, thin slices of cold butter. It’s important that the butter is very cold. Then, cut into the mixture with a pastry blender or two forks. This creates the crumbly texture that is a classic in the streusel.
  • Set the keto streusel aside and add it to the top of the coffee cake right before baking.

Once you have baked and allowed your keto pumpkin coffee cake to cool completely (about 20 minutes), you can drizzle the top of the cake with the keto vanilla icing.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to five days or freeze them for up to three weeks.

By the way, this keto coffee cake recipe also freezes well, making it perfect for the holidays.

Freeze the entire cake in the container and allow the cake to defrost in the fridge overnight or on the kitchen counter for several hours.
