Easy Keto Cinnamon Rolls (Makes 8 Rolls)

Ingredients:

• For the Dough:
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour (blanched finely ground almond flour works best)
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, but helps with dough texture)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the Filling:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
• For the Glaze (Optional):
  • 1/3 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1-2 tablespoons powdered Swerve sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment:

• Mixing bowls (large and small)
• Electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer)
• Rolling pin
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Pastry brush (optional, for glaze)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum (if using), and salt. Set aside.
2. Cream the Butter & Cheese: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the Eggs: One at a time, add the eggs to the creamed butter and cheese, beating well after each addition.
4. Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the almond milk and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms.
5. Make the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, monk fruit sweetener, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using) until well-mixed.
6. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle (about 12×16 inches). Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.
7. Roll Up & Slice: Starting from the long end, tightly roll up the dough. Pinch the seam to seal. Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 8 equal slices.
8. Bake the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the cinnamon rolls on the sheet, leaving space for them to rise. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Glaze (Optional): While the rolls are cooling, prepare the glaze (if using) by combining the softened cream cheese, Swerve sweetener, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Spread or drizzle the glaze over the cooled cinnamon rolls.

Tips:

• For a richer flavor, use browned butter for the filling.
• Ensure your almond flour is finely ground for the best texture.
• Don’t overbake the rolls, or they will become dry.
• Feel free to experiment with different sugar substitutes in the filling, depending on your preference.

FAQs:

• Can I use a different type of nut flour? While almond flour works best in this recipe, you can try using pecan meal or another low-carb nut flour in a pinch. The texture may vary slightly.
• What if I don’t have xanthan gum? Xanthan gum helps improve the dough texture, but it’s not essential. You can omit it, but the dough may be slightly stickier.
