Then, whisk together the powdered swerve, almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients.

Stir until a cohesive dough forms. You’ll want to get your hands in there, squishing the dough between your fingers to make sure everything is mixed thoroughly.

For the filling, brush the melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle with granulated swerve and ground cinnamon. I like to fully mix my swerve and cinnamon before sprinkling on the dough for an even distribution

Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough into 12 equal strips. I find that cutting the dough before rolling the dough works best.

This keto cinnamon roll recipe uses a sweetened version of the super versatile fat head dough to bring you a low-carb version of a comforting family favorite for breakfast!

Ingredients

For the Dough:

For the filling:

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
  2. Melt the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in-between. The cheese should be melted and no longer stringy.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and stir to combine. The eggs will not fully incorporate into the melted cheese, so just mix it as well as you can.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered swerve, almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients.
  6. Stir until a cohesive dough forms. You’ll want to get your hands in there, squishing the dough between your fingers to make sure everything is mixed thoroughly.
  7. Roll out the dough between parchment paper into roughly a 12-inch square.
  8. Brush the dough with the melted butter, then sprinkle with the swerve granulated sweetener and ground cinnamon (I like to fully mix the two together before sprinkling on the dough).
  9. Cut the dough into 12 equal strips, then roll up each strip. I find that cutting before rolling keeps me from squishing the cinnamon roll flat.
  10. Place the cinnamon rolls into a parchment paper-lined cake pan, leaving space between them.
  11. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.
  12. While the cinnamon rolls are cooking, prepare the cream cheese frosting.
  13. Beat the cream cheese and powdered Swerve together with a hand mixer in a medium bowl.
  14. Add the vanilla creme stevia and almond milk and continue mixing until smooth. Add more or less milk to your preferred icing thickness.
  15. Spread or pipe the cream cheese frosting onto the cinnamon rolls.
  16. Serve and Enjoy!

Notes

Lakanto Powered Sweetener is 2:1 for regular sugar, so you will want to adjust the measurements if you choose a different low carb powdered sweetener for the dough and the frosting.

  1. After I cut my dough into strips the dough wouldn’t roll, kept breaking? Would oiling the bottom parchment paper piece help?

    1. Hey Rene! It depends on how much moisture you can remove. I don’t usually recommend fresh mozzarella from the store, because the moisture content is too high to work in this recipe. But with homemade, maybe you have more control over that?

  2. You’re directions are different from your written directions and the actual printed recipe.What’s up with this?
