About This Recipe
This Keto Cranberry Almond Breakfast Crumble is a warm, festive, and comforting seasonal breakfast that brings together buttery almond flour, tart cranberries, and subtle winter spices. Unlike traditional crumbles loaded with sugar and high-carb grains, this keto version relies on simple low-carb ingredients that produce big holiday flavor in just a few minutes. As the almond flour cooks in butter, it develops a lightly toasted, golden crumble texture that feels indulgent while still fitting perfectly into a keto lifestyle.
The cranberries offer a bright, tart contrast that cuts through the richness of the buttery base, creating a balanced and satisfying dish. When heated, the berries soften and burst slightly, releasing juices that blend into the crumble and create a natural sweetness without the sugar. Sliced almonds add a delicate crunch and reinforce the cozy holiday character, making every bite feel warm and seasonal.
This recipe is cooked entirely in a skillet, making it ideal for busy winter mornings or holiday breakfasts where you want something special but don’t want to spend a long time baking. It also reheats beautifully and works well as part of a weekly meal prep plan. Serve it as-is for a lighter breakfast or add keto whipped cream or sugar-free maple syrup for a more decadent brunch experience.
With its blend of textures and flavors, this cranberry almond crumble feels like a cross between a breakfast dish and a festive dessert—only without the carbs. It’s perfect for Christmas morning, December weekends, or any time you want a cozy, holiday-inspired keto breakfast.
