Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 2 cups almond flour the main flour substitute that keeps it low-carb.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder helps the rolls rise.
  • 2 tablespoons allulose or any granulated sweetener of your choice.
  • 3 cups low moisture mozzarella cheese shredded, gives the dough its unique texture.
  • 2 ounces cream cheese adds creaminess to the dough.
  • 2 large eggs binds the ingredients together.
  • 1/4 cup butter melted, adds fat and moisture.

For the Filling:

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar substitute for the sweet filling.
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon the star spice of these rolls.

For the Frosting:

  • 4 ounces cream cheese for the frosting.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar substitute sweetens the frosting without the carbs.
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk to achieve the right frosting consistency.

Instructions

Cooking Keto Cinnamon Rolls:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and allulose. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese together until smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute in the microwave. Stir until fully combined.
  • Add the eggs and melted butter to the cheese mixture. Stir until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
  • Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Be gentle, as the dough can be a bit delicate.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar substitute and cinnamon. Spread this mixture evenly over your rolled-out dough.
  • Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough into a log shape. Once rolled, slice the log into equal pieces, about 1-inch thick. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • While the rolls are baking, prepare the frosting. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar substitute, and milk until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if necessary to reach your desired consistency.
  • Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before spreading the cream cheese frosting over the top. Enjoy warm!
