Keto Cinnamon Rolls
Keto Cinnamon Rolls are an ideal low-carb solution to a typical comfort food yearning. These rolls are soft, golden, and packed with a lovely swirl of cinnamon and butter, making them taste exactly like classic bakery rolls. We prepare the roll’s dough with mozzarella, almond flour, and cream cheese, resulting in a fluffy texture. We make these rolls naturally sweet with Erythritol, which makes these rolls keto-friendly while satisfying a sweet tooth. Top these rolls with a cream cheese frosting, which tastes rich and decadent without throwing your diet off track. Keto Cinnamon Rolls, whether eaten hot from the oven with coffee or saved for later, fit within a low-carb diet without compromising flavor.

INGREDIENTS:
CINNAMON ROLLS:
2 cups almond flour
3 tbsp. Erythritol
Two tbsp. cream cheese
One large egg
Two tbsp. butter
2 cups mozzarella cheese
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla extract
GLAZE:
2 tbsp. heavy cream
2 tbsp. Erythritol powder
INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALMOND FLOUR:
The base for the dough is almond flour, which keeps it low in carbs and gluten-free. It produces a soft, sensitive texture and a slight nutty flavor. This makes it an excellent substitute for regular wheat flour.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
Mozzarella cheese adds flexibility to the dough and helps it hold together. It creates a stretchy feel similar to gluten when melted. It also provides richness without adding carbs.
CREAM CHEESE:
Cream cheese improves the dough’s texture and moisture content. It works well with mozzarella to form a malleable base. The moderate tang also helps to balance out the rolls’ sweetness.
EGGS:
The egg functions as a binder, binding the dough ingredients together. It also gives a touch of lift to the rolls, making them softer. The egg contains additional protein.
BUTTER:
Butter provides richness and a traditional flavor to the cinnamon filling. It melts into the rolls, leaving them moist when baked.
ERYTHRITOL GRANULES:
This recipe’s sweetener is Erythritol, which replaces sugar. It gives sweetness without raising blood sugar. It also bakes well and gives the rolls a typical flavor.
CINNAMON:
Cinnamon is the main ingredient that gives these buns their flavor. It gives warmth and sweetness without any additional carbohydrates. The scent also makes the rolls feel warm and luxurious.
VANILLA ESSENCE:
The vanilla essence enhances the overall flavor of the dough. It naturally boosts sweetness, even when using a sugar replacement. A modest quantity goes a long way towards improving taste.
HEAVY CREAM:
The use of heavy cream makes the rich and silky glaze. It readily combines with Erythritol powder to create a creamy topping. This increases indulgence while remaining keto-friendly.
ERYTHRITOL POWDER:
The glaze contains Erythritol powder, which gives it a sugary feel. It dissolves easily and leaves a smooth finish. This makes the glaze light, sweet, and delicious.
INSTRUCTIONS:
We warm the oven to 375 degrees F.
Then we grease the baking tray with butter.
Include the mozzarella & cream cheese in the dish and melt for thirty seconds in microwave.
Mix the cheese mixture with spoon so it gets smooth consistency.
Include the eggs, almond flour, and vanilla essence in the melted mixture and stir to form the dough.
Put the dough in middle of two parchment sheets and roll this dough in rectangular form.
Apply the melted butter and dust with cinnamon and Erythritol, and roll into a log.
Slice the log into eight pieces with a sharp knife and place them on the tray.
Bake these rolls for eighteen to twenty minutes to make them golden.
Stir the Erythritol powder in heavy cream in a small dish.
Drizzle the glaze on warm rolls and serve.
