Ingredients You’ll Need 🛒

For the Dough:

🧀 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
🧀 2 tbsp cream cheese (softened)
🌰 3/4 cup almond flour
🥚 1 egg white (beaten)
🧂 1/2 tsp baking powder

For the Cinnamon Filling:

🍬 1 tsp vanilla extract
🍬 1 tsp liquid stevia
🌿 1 tsp ground cinnamon


How to Make Keto Cinnamon Rolls – Step by Step 🥄

Now, let’s break it down step by step so you can achieve perfect, fluffy cinnamon rolls every time.

Step 1: Melt the Cheese for the Dough

🔥 In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tbsp cream cheese.
🔥 Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval until the cheeses are completely melted and smooth.

👉 Pro Tip: If the cheese isn’t melting well, give it an extra 10 seconds in the microwave. Stir thoroughly for a smooth dough.

Step 2: Mix in the Dry Ingredients

🥄 Add 3/4 cup almond flour and 1/2 tsp baking powder to the melted cheese mixture.
🥄 Mix well until fully incorporated.

Step 3: Add the Egg White & Knead the Dough

🥄 Pour in 1 beaten egg white and stir to combine.
🥄 If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more almond flour until it becomes manageable and pliable.

👉 Pro Tip: Knead the dough with your hands for about 2 minutes to ensure all the ingredients are well combined.

Step 4: Roll Out the Dough

🌿 Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper.
🌿 Use a rolling pin to roll it into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 5: Prepare the Cinnamon Filling

🥄 In a small bowl, mix:
✔️ 1 tsp vanilla extract
✔️ 1 tsp liquid stevia
✔️ 1 tsp ground cinnamon

🌿 Brush this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.

Step 6: Roll & Cut the Dough

🥐 Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting from the shorter edge.
🥐 Cut the log into 6 equal pieces using a sharp knife.

Step 7: Bake to Perfection

🔥 Place the rolls in a greased baking dish.
🔥 Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and firm to the touch.

👉 Pro Tip: If your rolls brown too quickly, cover them with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.

🎉 And that’s it! Your delicious Keto Cinnamon Rolls are ready! 🎉

FAQs: Your Questions Answered ❓

Here are some common questions about making Keto Cinnamon Rolls:

1. Can I make these dairy-free?

Yes! Use dairy-free shredded mozzarella and replace cream cheese with coconut cream.

2. What can I use instead of stevia?

You can use monk fruit sweetener, erythritol, or allulose as a substitute.

3. Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
