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.
