Low-carb, sugar-free, THM:S, Gluten and nut free

Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • ⅓ cup golden flaxmeal (substitute almond flour for this if you're sensitive to the taste of flax)
  • ¼ cup oat fiber (use gluten free if gluten is an issue)
  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp. salt
  • Low-glycemic sweetener to taste (see note below)
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. maple flavoring
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup water
For the streusel:
  • ¼ cup butter, softened
  • ½ cup old-fashioned oats (use gluten free if gluten is an issue)
  • 1 T oat fiber (use gluten free if gluten is an issue)
  • 1 T store-bought coconut flour
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 4 packets Truvia (3 tsp.; you could also use 1½ tsp. THM Super Sweet Blend)
Instructions
  1. Mix together the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and mix with a hand mixer. The dough will be thick. Smooth into a small well-greased glass pan. I used a 4½ cup (1 L) pan that was about 6" x 7". This gave me a thick coffee cake. Feel free to use a bigger pan, but you'll probably have to decrease the baking time.
  2. Combine the streusel ingredients with a fork. Crumble on top of the coffee cake and press it into the top a little.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out cleanly and the middle isn't too mushy. Don't overbake it though. Let the coffee cake cool for a few minutes before cutting into 4 squares. I prefer to eat mine cold from the fridge.
Notes
Sweetener - I used ¼ tsp. of THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder to sweeten this coffee cake. Next time I would decrease the amount of stevia used and make up the difference with a granulated sweetener such as xylitol, Truvia, or THM Sweet Blend. Start with a little and increase to taste.
Do not attempt to substitute another flour for the oat fiber or coconut flour unless you're a kitchen guru. Those two flours need special treatment with liquids and such.
The carbs from the oats come out to a little over 5 g net carbs/serving. This is well within S guidelines for Trim Healthy Mamas.
