Keto Muffin Tops
These Keto Muffin tops are a cross between a muffin and a sugar cookie.
Cause who doesn't love sugar cookies??
These freeze really well. In fact, I bake these up and store them in the freezer for a quick "on-the-go" breakfast option or when I want a sweet treat with my morning coffee.
They are delicate and light and full of that delicious sugar cookie taste!
Bocha Sweet is the secret ingredient here because it tastes so much like sugar. You can substitute other granulated sweeteners--but proceed at your own risk 🙂

The Perfect Keto Muffin Tops
Substitutions when Baking Keto don't work very well.
Notice that I've provided the grams so if you're like me and always weigh flour–you can do so with both the coconut flour and almond flour!
What Substitutions Will Work?
Keto Sweetener Substitutions
If you haven't already tried Bocha Sweet, I highly recommend you do.
It's a superfood alternative sweetener made from a Japanese pumpkin called the Kabocha pumpkin.
Most alternative sweeteners will work in this recipe. You can use Monk Fruit Sweetener, Xylitol or a blend like Swerve.
I have not tested this recipe using liquid stevia because I'm not confident of the results without the bulk of some kind of granulated sugar substitute.

I only refer you to products and brands that I have used in the past or are currently using and that I like the quality of. In some cases, products are discontinued and I find a substitution. This is usually only for kitchen gadgets but sometimes companies stop making ingredients too!

How To Make Homemade Keto Muffin Tops
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp Watkins Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 tsp Watkins Almond Extract
- ¾ cup Bocha Sweet (or Monk Fruit Sweetener)
- 30 drops Liquid Stevia
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
- ¼ tsp xanthan gum
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup (30g) coconut flour
- 1 cup (112g) blanched superfine almond flour
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, eggs, melted coconut oil, softened cream cheese, liquid stevia, pure vanilla extract and Bocha Sweet.
NOTE: Make sure melted/softened ingredients aren't too hot or you'll cook your eggs! - Blend until combined and your mixture looks like this:
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix for two minutes.
- Allow mixture to rest for five minutes. This gives the coconut flour time to absorb the liquids. You'll notice it's much thicker after 5 minutes.
- Scoop onto a baking tray.
- Bake at 325 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until edges are browned and cookies are set in the middle.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for ten minutes before removing them to a cooling rack.
- Enjoy immediately or store in an air tight container in the freezer!
