  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 cinnamon buns 1x

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

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 60 to 90 seconds, stirring halfway through, until fully melted.
  3. Add the almond flour, egg, baking powder, and 1 tbsp sweetener to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
  4. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Mix together the melted butter, 2 tbsp sweetener, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  6. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the rolled dough.
  7. Roll the dough tightly into a log from one long side to the other.
  8. Slice the log into 8 equal pieces and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown on the edges.
  10. 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.
