Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar-free sweetener
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar-free sweetener (for filling)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 60 to 90 seconds, stirring halfway through, until fully melted.
- Add the almond flour, egg, baking powder, and 1 tbsp sweetener to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Mix together the melted butter, 2 tbsp sweetener, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the rolled dough.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log from one long side to the other.
- Slice the log into 8 equal pieces and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown on the edges.
- Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Work quickly with the dough while it is still warm. It gets harder to shape as it cools.
- If the dough sticks to your hands, wet your hands slightly or chill the dough for 5 minutes.
- You can add a simple keto cream cheese glaze by mixing 2 tbsp cream cheese, 1 tbsp powdered sweetener, and 1 to 2 tsp of milk or heavy cream.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds.
- Use finely ground almond flour for the best texture. Coarse almond meal will change the consistency.
