Health benefits of Ultimate Keto Coffee Cake

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.

Ingredients

BASE

6 Large Eggs, Separated
6 Oz. Cream Cheese
1/4 Cup Erythritol
1/4 tsp. Liquid Stevia
1/4 Cup Unflavored Protein Powder
2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1/4 tsp. Cream of Tartar
FILLING

1 1/2 Cup Almond Flour
1 Tbsp. Cinnamon
1/2 Stick Butter
1/4 Cup Maple Syrup (recipe here)
1/4 Cup Erythritol

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325F. If you’re using a glass baking dish, use 300F.
2. Seperate the eggs from the egg whites for all 5 eggs. Cream together the egg yolks with 1/4 Cup Erythritol and 1/4 tsp. Liquid Stevia.
3. Once the egg yolks are creamed, add 6 Oz. Cream cheese and 1/4 Cup Unflavored Protein Powder. Mix this together well until a thick batter forms.
4. Beat your egg whites together with the 1/4 tsp. Cream of Tartar until stiff peaks form.
5. Fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture, doing 1/2 of the egg whites first and then the other half. Pour the batter into a round cake pan.
6. Mix together all of the “Filling” ingredients: 1 1/2 Cup Almond Flour, 1 Tbsp. Cinnamon, 1/2 Stick Butter, 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup (recipe here), and 1/4 Cup Erythritol. This should form a “dough” of sorts. Take half and rip off little pieces to top the cake – push the pieces down if they don’t sink on their own.
7. Bake for 20 minutes and then top with the rest of the cinnamon filling. Bake for another 20-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 20 minutes before removing from the cake pan.
