Ingredients

Dough

2 cups Almond Flour 224g
1 ½ cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese 170g
2 tbsp Cream Cheese 28g
1 Large Egg
1 tbsp Baking Powder 14g
¼ tsp Salt 1.5g

Filling

¼ cup Granulated Erythritol 50g
2 tbsp Ground Cinnamon 15g
¼ tsp Ground Nutmeg 0.5g
2 tbsp Unsalted Butter melted, 28g

Frosting

4 oz Cream Cheese softened, 113g
2 tbsp Unsalted Butter softened, 28g
¼ cup Powdered Erythritol 50g
½ tsp Vanilla Extract 2.5ml

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Start with the dough: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 60-90 seconds, stirring halfway through until completely melted.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the egg to the melted cheese mixture and mix well. Then, incorporate the almond flour mixture until a dough forms.
Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
Prepare the filling by mixing the granulated erythritol, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Brush the rolled dough with melted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon mixture evenly over the top.
Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting from the long edge. Slice into 8 equal pieces.
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the rolls are baking, prepare the frosting by beating together the cream cheese, butter, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before spreading the frosting on top.
Serve warm and enjoy your keto-friendly cinnamon rolls!

Notes

Ensure the mozzarella is fully melted for easier dough handling.

If the dough becomes tough to work with, pop it back in the microwave for a few seconds to soften.

The erythritol can be substituted with another keto-friendly sweetener if desired.

Store leftover rolls in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven or microwave for best texture.
