Keto Blueberry Coffee Cake

Coffee cake is typically a cake with a streusel topping and served with coffee or tea. It rarely has any sort of frosting but occasionally can have an icing or glaze served over the top. The cake can be flavored with coffee, but it’s not required to make a delicious, tender, comforting cake. Berries are also optional, but add a nice, sweet punch of color and burst of flavor in each bite. Making a keto coffee cake not only delicious, but nut free was no easy task, but with this fool proof method, you will have no trouble creating this masterpiece at home!

Is Coconut a Nut?

I’d like to clear up this constant question get asked almost daily about whether coconut is a nut. While the US Food & drug Administration (FDA) claims that coconut is a tree nut becomes it comes from a tree, it is in fact a FRUIT. People who have tree nut allergies may be allergic to coconut as well, but being allergic to coconut is not the same as having a tree nut allergy.

My own son was diagnosed with a Peanut and Tree Nut allergy at the age of 2. He has safely eaten coconut all these years without issue and he is now 14. Coconut is a fruit, called a drupe. It’s like a peach with a pit. 

The American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology says it well: “Coconut is not a botanical nut: it is classified as a fruit, even though the FDA recognizes coconut as a tree nut. While allergic reactions to coconut have been documented, most people who are allergic to tree nuts can safely eat coconut. If you are allergic to tree nuts, talk to your allergist before adding coconut to your diet.”

Keto Nut Free Coffee Cake

Now that we got the issue about coconut not being a nut, using coconut flour for this recipe was the best decision. You see if you’ve had a bad experience with coconut flour then of course, you’ll be hesitant to try this. But I can tell you that you just had a crappy recipe and the ratios of liquid was off if you had a dense and dry outcome with coconut flour. Once you successfully use coconut flour in a recipe, you’ll wish you had all along. Don’t believe me? read the rave reviews for the following coconut flour recipes here on my blog. This Coconut Flour Bread tastes like a honey wheat bread.  This Coconut Flour Pie Crust is an amazing, flaky crust you can use for sweet or savory recipes.  These Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Muffins are light, and airy and everyone loves them. I can guarantee, this Coconut Flour Coffee Cake is also going to get rave reviews!
