Why I Love This Recipe
I started making Keto Crack Coffee during a busy season when I didn’t have time for breakfast but still needed energy to keep going. I needed something that tasted good, felt indulgent, and gave me fuel without the crash. This coffee checks every box.

- It tastes like a fancy coffee shop drink—but with none of the sugar.
What You’ll Need
- 1 cup freshly brewed hot coffee (use your favorite roast)
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (preferably grass-fed)
- 1 tbsp MCT oil (or coconut oil)
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp powdered monk fruit sweetener (or more to taste)
- Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)
Pro Tips
- Use hot coffee! If it’s lukewarm, the butter won’t melt right.

- Add collagen peptides for extra protein if you like.

Why This Recipe Works (Quick Science)
The fats in butter and MCT oil slow down caffeine absorption, giving you steady energy without the crash. Blending emulsifies the fats into the coffee, making it smooth and creamy. Heavy cream adds richness while monk fruit sweetener keeps it low-carb without bitterness.
Common Mistakes
- Not blending: Stirring won’t emulsify the fats—you need to blend.
- Cold coffee: It won’t melt the butter or mix well.
- Too much sweetener: Start small; monk fruit is strong.
- Using salted butter: It can overpower the flavor balance.
What to Serve With
- A hard-boiled egg or two for extra protein
- Keto almond flour muffin
- Bacon slices for a salty bite
- A handful of nuts
