Keto Cinnamon Rolls

These Keto Cinnamon Rolls are a delightful, low-carb twist on a classic American dessert, featuring a soft and buttery dough swirled with a rich cinnamon filling. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while staying within your ketogenic lifestyle.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 1 cup
• Cream cheese - 50 grams
• Mozzarella cheese - 1 cup, shredded
• Egg - 1 large
• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cinnamon - 2 teaspoons
• Erythritol (or other keto-friendly sweetener) - 2 tablespoons
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Butter - 1 tablespoon, melted
• Salt - a pinch

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a small baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
3. Add the almond flour, egg, baking powder, and salt to the cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
4. On a piece of parchment paper, roll out the dough into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
5. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon, melted butter, and erythritol to create the filling.
6. Spread the cinnamon mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
7. Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into 4 equal pieces.
8. Place the cinnamon rolls in the prepared baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, drizzle with a keto-friendly icing made from cream cheese and erythritol.
