Soft pumpkin cookies topped with coffee cake crumble – these keto pumpkin coffee cake cookies are better than anything you can order.
Pumpkin Coffee Cake Cookies
When you can’t decide between moist pumpkin cookies and a sweet coffee cake, make them both! These creative cookies are made with a delicious pumpkin base and then topped with an incredible coffee cake crumb.
Together, they make cookies that are irresistible. But the really surprising thing about them is that they are low-carb!
Each cookie has just 2 grams net carbs. Not only are they keto-friendly, but they are also gluten-free, grain free, and high in protein.
Coffee Cake Cookies
The coffee cake topping makes these cookies absolutely delicious! And you can reuse the topping on other things. Add it on top of chaffles to make a tasty coffee cake chaffle or sprinkle it on top of a keto pancake in a mug.
The options are endless!
What’s in the keto coffee cake topping? Well, it includes almond flour, Swerve brown sugar substitute, butter, and pumpkin pie spice. The brown sugar substitute is what makes it taste like coffee cake.
Don’t try to use granulated sugar or even liquid sweetener – you need those caramel notes.
You can make your own pumpkin pie spice out of nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and allspice, if you want. I just buy the jarred stuff because it’s so much easier.
Easy Pumpkin Recipes
When you make anything keto-friendly and it calls for pumpkin puree, make sure you are using real pumpkin puree. Don’t accidentally buy pumpkin pie filling.
This is because pumpkin pie filling has sugar in it, so it will throw you out of ketosis.
There are so many things you can make with pumpkin, so buy some extra cans of puree. Use it to make keto pumpkin chai tea latte or keto pumpkin crisp.
And if you want to impress guests at a party, make low-carb pumpkin pie tacos. They are so much fun to eat! And a loaf of keto pumpkin bread is the perfect breakfast or snack.
How To Store Soft Cookies
The best way to store these soft cookies is in an airtight container at room temperature. Keep the air off of them and they should last a week.
If you need to store them in multiple layers, place a sheet of wax or parchment paper in between the layers of cookies so they don’t stick together.
If you want to keep them soft, place a piece of bread on top of the cookies. It can be keto-friendly bread or traditional wheat bread. The bread will become stale but keep the cookies moist.
Easy Fall Cookies
You just can’t beat the combination of pumpkin and cinnamon spice in these cookies. Serve them at fall brunches, breakfast, or even parties. They show off wonderfully!
Serve them on a cookie tray with keto butter cookies. They are so mild and the flavor is so muted that people love them.
If you want a sweet cookie with more layers of flavors and ingredients, make keto caramel pecan cookies. The pecan flavors are perfect in the fall and winter.
