keto cinnamon rolls recipe

Ingredients

Dough

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp erythritol (or another keto-friendly sweetener)

Filling

• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 cup erythritol
• 1 tbsp cinnamon

Cream Cheese Frosting

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp erythritol
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the dough:
   • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway, until the cheeses are melted and well combined.
   • Add the almond flour, baking powder, erythritol, eggs, and vanilla extract to the cheese mixture. Mix well until a dough forms. It will be sticky but manageable.
3. Roll out the dough:
   • Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
4. Prepare the filling:
   • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, erythritol, and cinnamon. Spread this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
5. Form the rolls:
   • Carefully roll the dough into a log shape, using the parchment paper to help lift and roll. Slice the log into 8-10 rolls.
6. Bake the rolls:
   • Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Prepare the frosting:
   • While the rolls are baking, mix the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, erythritol, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
8. Frost the rolls:
   • Once the rolls are done baking, allow them to cool slightly before spreading the cream cheese frosting on top.
9. Serve and enjoy:
   • Enjoy your delicious keto cinnamon rolls warm!
