Ingredients
  

For the Dough:

  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp water

For the Filling:

  • 2 tbsp granular sweetener
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp butter at room temperature

For the Frosting:

  • 2 tbsp powdered sweetener
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese at room temperature

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 360°F and prepare a baking dish with non-stick spray.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, stir well, then heat for another minute until melted and smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour and baking powder. Beat in the egg, then add this mixture to the melted mozzarella dough.
  • Knead the dough thoroughly until smooth, then divide it into six equal portions.
  • Shape each portion into a log, then place between two greased sheets of parchment paper. Roll each piece flat into a rectangular shape.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the granular sweetener and cinnamon with 2 tbsp water, stirring until dissolved and slightly thickened.
  • Spread the cinnamon-sweetener mixture evenly over each rolled-out dough portion. Carefully roll each piece into a tight bun and cut in half sideways to create 12 rolls.
  • Arrange the rolls in the prepared baking dish and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
  • While the rolls are baking, prepare the frosting by mixing the remaining cream cheese, butter, powdered sweetener, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  • Once the cinnamon rolls are done baking, let them cool slightly before spreading the frosting over the warm rolls. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • These keto cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds for a soft and warm texture.
  • Swap the granular sweetener for a monk fruit or erythritol blend if preferred.
