# What You'll Need:
→ Dough
01 - 2 cups almond flour
02 - 2 tablespoons coconut flour
03 - 1/4 cup erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
04 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
06 - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
07 - 2 ounces cream cheese
08 - 2 large eggs
→ Filling
09 - 1/4 cup erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
10 - 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
11 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
→ Cream Cheese Icing
12 - 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
13 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
14 - 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
15 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
16 - 1-2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch round baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with butter.
02 - Combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
04 - Add the melted cheese mixture and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until a sticky dough forms. Lightly oil hands to handle dough more easily.
05 - Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick.
06 - Mix erythritol, ground cinnamon, and melted butter in a small bowl until combined. Spread evenly over the rolled dough surface.
07 - Using the parchment paper for support, gently roll the dough into a tight log from the long edge. Slice into 8 equal pieces.
08 - Arrange buns cut-side up in prepared baking pan. Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden brown and set in center.
09 - While buns bake, beat softened cream cheese, butter, powdered erythritol, and vanilla until smooth. Add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time to achieve spreadable consistency.
10 - Remove buns from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Spread icing generously over warm buns before serving.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- You get that warm, gooey cinnamon roll experience without the sugar crash that usually follows
- The texture is shockingly close to traditional cinnamon buns fluffy, tender, and perfectly satisfying
02 -
- The dough will be incredibly sticky when warm, so let it cool slightly before rolling or work with well-oiled hands
- Roll the dough between parchment paper instead of on a floured surface, as adding more flour will make the buns dry and tough
03 -
- Room temperature ingredients mix together more smoothly, especially for the icing where lumps would be disappointing
- Let the buns cool for the full 10 minutes before icing, or the frosting will melt right off instead of sitting prettily on top
