Why These Keto Coffee Cake Cookies Are Better Than Traditional

Classic coffee cake cookies usually contain:

• White flour
• Brown sugar
• Powdered sugar glaze
• 30–40g carbs per serving

This keto version swaps in:

• Almond flour for softness
• Coconut flour for structure
• Monk fruit sweetener for sweetness
• Cinnamon streusel made with almond flour
• Optional sugar-free glaze

The result?

A soft, buttery, cinnamon-packed cookie with a crumb topping that tastes just like the real thing.

But with keto macros.
