Cinnamon Rolls
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 2 cups Almond Flour 🥯
- ¼ cup Powdered Erythritol (or your favorite keto sweetener) 🍬
- ½ tsp Baking Powder 🥄
- ½ tsp Xanthan Gum (for that perfect doughy stretch!) ✨
- 1 cup Cream Cheese, softened 🧀
- 2 large Eggs 🥚
- 2 tbsp Melted Butter 🧈
- 4 tbsp Cinnamon (for that deep, spiced flavor) 🍂
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract 🍦
- 1-2 tbsp Almond Milk (for the glaze consistency) 🥛
👩🍳 Instructions
- The “Fathead” Dough: Melt the cream cheese until smooth and stretchy, then quickly mix in the almond flour, eggs, and baking powder until a soft dough forms. 🧀🥯🌪️
- Roll It Out: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it into a large rectangle. 📐📜✨
- The Spiced Filling: Brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle generously with a mix of cinnamon and powdered erythritol. 🧈🍂🎨
- The Roll Up: Carefully roll the dough into a tight log and slice into even rounds. 👐🌀🔪
- Bake to Golden: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and bake at 350°F for 15–20 minutes until they are puffed and golden-brown. ⏲️📈🔥
- The Glaze: Whisk together extra cream cheese, vanilla, sweetener, and a splash of almond milk to create a thick, pourable frosting. 🍦🥛🌪️
- Frost & Serve: Pour the glaze over the warm rolls so it seeps into every swirl for that iconic gooey texture! 🍯🥐🤤
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Pull-Apart” Secret: As shown in the photo, using xanthan gum and cream cheese in the dough creates an incredible, stretchy texture that mimics traditional yeast bread! 🥐🛡️💎
- The “Warmth” Hack: Always glaze your rolls while they are still slightly warm; this allows the frosting to melt into the center for maximum deliciousness! 🍯🎯✅
