Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are completely melted and well combined.
- Beat the egg in a separate bowl and then add it to the melted cheese mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
- Add the almond flour and baking powder to the mixture and stir until a dough forms. It may be sticky, but that’s okay.
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll it out into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Brush the melted butter over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the cinnamon and granulated sweetener evenly over the butter.
- Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 8 equal-sized rolls.
- Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish, leaving a little space between each one.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are lightly golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the frosting. In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, and powdered sweetener until smooth and creamy.
- Once the rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the frosting over the warm rolls.
- Serve and enjoy your homemade keto cinnamon rolls! They may not taste exactly like the traditional version, but they’re still incredibly delicious and satisfying. Perfect for a guilt-free treat on a low-carb diet
