Keto cinnamon rolls—yes, please! Here’s a recipe that’s low-carb, soft, and full of that cinnamon roll goodness.
Ingredients:
Dough:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any keto-friendly milk)
- 1 tbsp sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Filling:
- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 2 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit, or sweeten to taste)
Glaze (optional):
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp butter, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sweetener
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (or any keto-friendly milk)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the dough:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the melted butter, eggs, almond milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a piece of parchment paper until it’s smooth. It may feel a little sticky, but that’s normal.
2. Roll out the dough:
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle (about 1/4-inch thick).
3. Make the filling:
- In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, cinnamon, and sweetener together until well combined.
- Spread the cinnamon mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
4. Form the rolls:
- Starting from one side of the rectangle, gently roll the dough up into a log.
- Slice the log into 8-10 rolls (you can make them bigger or smaller, depending on your preference).
5. Bake the rolls:
- Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased baking dish (8×8-inch works well).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and firm to the touch. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn!
6. Make the glaze (optional):
- In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract. Add almond milk one tablespoon at a time to reach your desired consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
