Ingredients:
For the Dough:
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 oz cream cheese
1 large egg
1 ½ cups almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
For the Filling:
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
For the Frosting (optional):
2 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp butter, softened
1/4 cup powdered erythritol
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
A splash of heavy cream or milk (adjust for desired consistency)
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Prepare the Dough:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and combined.
Once melted, let it cool slightly. Add the egg, vanilla extract, almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. You may need to use your hands to fully incorporate the ingredients.
Roll Out the Dough:
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Prepare the Filling:
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, erythritol, and ground cinnamon. Spread this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Shape the Rolls:
Carefully lift the parchment paper to help roll the dough into a tight log. Slice the log into 1-inch wide pieces and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Prepare the Frosting (optional):
In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and a splash of heavy cream or milk until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more heavy cream if needed.
Serve:
Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before drizzling with the cream cheese frosting, if using.
Enjoy your keto cinnamon rolls warm for the best experience!
