Keto Cinnamon Rolls Recipe:
Ingredients:
Dough
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp almond flour
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup AlluMonk Sweetener or your favorite Keto Sweetener
- 3 tbsp golden flax seed meal
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp konjac root
- 1/2 tsp pink himalayan salt
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 3 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
- 3 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp warm water
Filling
-
1/4 cup butter, softened
- 3 tbsp Swerve Brown
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp AlluMonk Sweetener
Frosting
- 2 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 tbsp butter, room temperature
- 2 tbsp AlluMonk Sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F and grease an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, AlluMonk Sweetener, flaxseed, baking powder, konjack root, and salt.
-
Add in the eggs, cream, melted butter, vinegar, vanilla and water into the dry ingredients and whisk well until combined using a hand mixer. Rest for 5 minutes. The dough will be very sticky.
-
While the dough rests, mix Cinnamon Filling ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
-
With oiled hands, shape the dough into a ball. Place the ball between 2 large pieces of parchment paper and roll it into a rectangle to desired thinness. Spread the cinnamon filling onto the dough, leaving a 1-inch margin at the top empty.
-
Using the parchment as an aid, roll the dough (towards the empty inch) up into a tight log. Seal the edge with wet fingertips.
-
Cut the log crosswise into 9 equal pieces and transfer rolls to the prepared round cake pan.
-
Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes until golden brown. If necessary, cover loosely with foil to prevent burning.
-
Meanwhile, make the frosting by combining cream cheese, butter and erythritol in a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to whip until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla and stevia; add cream 1 tablespoon at a time until a thick, spreadable icing comes together.
-
Cool rolls before spreading frosting on them. Alternatively, you can spread frosting on immediately from the oven if you like more of a glaze.
-
Best stored in an air tight container in the fridge up to 7 days or on the counter up to 2 days.
