Ingredients
Dough
- 1¾ cup (200 g) pre-shredded/grated mozzarella shredded
- ¾ cup (80 g) almond meal/flour
- 2 tablespoon cream cheese
- ½ tablespoon baking powder
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon granulated sweetener of choice or more, to your taste
Filling
- 3 tablespoon butter melted
- ¼ cup brown sweetener of choice
- ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon ground
Frosting (optional)
- ¼ cup sugar-free cream cheese frosting
Instructions
How to make keto dough
- Mix the shredded/grated cheese, almond flour, sweetener, and baking powder in a microwaveable bowl. Add the cream cheese to the top. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute. Mix the dough then microwave again for 30 more seconds.
- Add the egg and vanilla to the dough and knead with a silicone spatula until well incorporated and a dough ball forms.
- Place the dough in between 2 pieces of baking parchment/paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick and about 14 inches in length. This is easiest to do while the dough is still warm. Remove the top layer of parchment paper.
Assembling cinnamon rolls
- Generously brush the melted butter over the entire top surface of the dough. Mix the cinnamon and sugar together and then sprinkle over the butter leaving about 1-inch space around the edges without any cinnamon/sugar.
- Roll the dough up tightly to create a long cylinder. Start at one of the long ends and roll completely to the other side.
- Cut the uneven ends off at both sides of the roll and discard. Then cut the roll into 12 equal pieces about 1-inch thick. Place each one in a baking pan with the spiral facing up.
Bake
- Bake at 220C/425F for 12-15 minutes, or until golden. Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. While the cinnamon rolls are still warm add 1 teaspoon of sugar-free cream cheese frosting to the center of each roll then spread it out. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
