Low Carb Keto Cinnamon Rolls Directions
DOUGH
-
Heat your oven to 350°F and line a 8 x 11 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
-
Microwave the mozzarella and cream cheese for one minute, remove and stir, then microwave for another 45 seconds or until the cheeses are completely melted.
-
Combine almond flour, granular erythritol, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
-
Next, add in the apple cider vinegar, vanilla, eggs, and melted cheese. Mix the ingredients together for at least 5 minutes or until completely combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as you go until a dough forms. This is best done with an electric mixer, whether handheld or a stand.
-
Create a large bottom layer of plastic wrap by connecting several sheets together until it is at least 24-inches long x 20-inches wide.
-
Place the dough in the center of the plastic wrap.
-
Make the top layer of plastic wrap in the same way and size (24 x 20 inches) and place on top of the dough.
-
Roll out the dough between the two layers of plastic wrap until it is a 20 x 16 inch oval. Stretch out the plastic wrap if needed so that it doesn’t get caught under the dough.
-
Remove the top layer of the plastic wrap and move onto the filling.
FILLING
-
In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, brown sugar substitute, and ground cinnamon.
-
Spread out the cinnamon mixture evenly onto the top of the dough.
-
Using the bottom layer of plastic wrap, roll the dough up lengthwise, starting at the long side of the dough oval.
-
Cut the dough into 10 cinnamon rolls. The dough will be sticky so use a string if you have it.
-
Place the cinnamon rolls in the lined baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops and sides of the rolls turn golden brown.
ICING
-
In a small saucepan heated over low-medium heat, cook the butter for about 5 minutes or until it has browned and developed a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn the butter.
-
Turn off the heat and whisk in the confectioner erythritol, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of almond milk. Add a little more milk until you have reached your desired consistency.
-
Allow your cinnamon rolls to cool slightly before topping them with the icing.
-
Use a spoon or spatula to spread the icing over cinnamon buns.
