🥘 Ingredients

Cream cheese, I found out years ago when I first made this blueberry coffee cake with cream cheese that it was a great ingredient to use in a recipe like this. It gives the recipe body and is a little more dense. It also adds great flavor.

Butter, adds more fat and moisture.

Sugar free sweetener. Everyone has their own preferences. I used granulated erythritol when testing this recipe. However I feel that classic monkfruit would work as well.

Almond Flour and coconut flour. Both are gluten free flours. Almond flour will give it texture and coconut flour will help in binding the ingredients together. It works similar to gluten in regular flour but it has super absorbency powers, so a little goes a long way.

Baking powder to leven the recipe and salt to compliment the flavor.

Almond extract is an excellent flavor that goes really well with raspberry. I always have this in my cupboard!

Fresh Raspberries. These can usually be found year round in the grocery stores now. However when they are in season, grab some from the farmer's market for the best berries!

Reader Recommendation

One of my readers made this coffee cake and substituted a sugar free cranberry sauce for the raspberries. She placed the cranberry sauce on top of the cake and gave it a swirl into the cake. This would be a great adaptation for a holiday brunch.

The crumb on this coffee cake is perfection. You don't want to stop eating it. In all reality, you want to savor it slowly with your coffee. Then when you're done, you look forward to your afternoon snack or next morning meal!
