This Keto Raspberry Coffee Cake is a tender, lightly sweet bake that fits right into a quiet morning or weekend brunch. Made with almond flour, cream cheese, and fresh raspberries, it's a low carb coffee cake that feels familiar without being heavy.
I love coffee cakes that don't need frosting or fuss, and this one reminds me of my keto pecan coffee cake without the icing. It's the kind of treat that pairs perfectly with a hot mug of coffee and a slow start to the day.

Why You'll Love Keto Raspberry Coffee Cake
Simple ingredients: everything here is easy to find and works together without special techniques or extra steps.
Balanced texture: the cream cheese keeps this keto cream cheese coffee cake soft and tender, not dry or crumbly.
Everyday versatile: this low carb raspberry coffee cake works for breakfast, brunch, or a mid-afternoon treat.
Key Ingredients for Low Carb Coffee Cake
See the printable recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and instructions.
- Cream cheese: adds richness and gives the coffee cake its soft, slightly dense crumb.
- Almond flour: creates the base of this almond flour coffee cake while keeping it gluten free and low carb.
- Coconut flour: helps absorb moisture and keeps the batter from being too loose.
- Fresh raspberries: bring a bright pop pof flavor that balances the richness of the batter.
- Monk fruit and Allulose blend: This lakanto golden blend is my top recommendation because it mimics raw cane sugar and is a zero-glycemic option.
Ingredient Substitutions
- Use butter flavored coconut oil (affiliate link) in place of butter.
- Swap almond extract for vanilla extract.
- Frozen raspberries can be used if fresh are not available; add them straight from the freezer.
Variations on Keto Raspberry Coffee Cake
- Add sliced almonds to the top before baking for a little crunch.
- Replace raspberries with blueberries or blackberries for a different berry coffee cake.
- Sprinkle a light keto cinnamon crumble over the batter before baking for a classic coffee cake touch. You can find a keto crumb topping with my recipe for Keto Rhubarb Crumb Muffins.
Tips for A Great Almond Flour Coffee Cake
- Let the cream cheese and butter fully soften so the batter blends smoothly.
- Fold the raspberries in gently to prevent turning the batter pink and breaking up the berries.
- Allow the coffee cake to cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds together.
How to Store
Store this keto raspberry coffee cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Jane says
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!

Ellen says
How about stevia?
Shelby says
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 says
I meant sugar!
Angela says
Can i use surar in place of the cup of artificial sweetener?
Shelby says
Hi Angela, yes, you can use sugar in place of the artificial sweetener. Enjoy!
Shelby says
Hi Angela! I do want to say that if you do use sugar, this is no longer a Keto recipe.
