These keto cinnamon rolls are a low-carb twist on the classic treat, made with a fathead dough and a sweet cinnamon filling. They’re perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without breaking your keto diet.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup granular low carb sweetener (for filling)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup powdered low carb sweetener (for icing)
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream (for icing)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute, stir, and microwave another 30 seconds until melted and combined.
- Add almond flour, baking powder, and salt to the cheese mixture. Mix until combined.
- Add the egg and knead the dough until smooth. You may use a food processor to help combine if needed.
- Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle.
- In a small bowl, mix the granular sweetener with cinnamon. Brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon mixture on top.
- Carefully roll the dough into a log and cut into slices about 1 inch thick.
- Place the rolls onto the prepared baking pan and bake for 10–15 minutes, until golden brown.
- While baking, prepare the icing by mixing powdered sweetener with heavy cream until smooth.
- Drizzle icing over warm cinnamon rolls before serving.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking when rolling the dough.
- If dough is too sticky, chill it for a few minutes before rolling.
- Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat before serving.
- You can use your favorite keto-friendly sweetener.
