Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated erythritol or sweetener of choice
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1.5 tablespoons Additional granulated erythritol for cinnamon mixture
- 2 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol or sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and granulated erythritol.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix well.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients until a thick batter forms. Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the flours to absorb moisture.
In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and 1.5 tablespoons of granulated erythritol to create the cinnamon filling.
Divide the batter into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten into rounds, about 1/2 inch thick.
Sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture onto the batter rounds, then fold each round in half. Reroll the batter into a ball to incorporate the cinnamon swirl.
Microwave the batter rounds on a microwave-safe plate for 60-90 seconds, or until set and cooked through (cook time may vary depending on your microwave).
To make the cream cheese frosting, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered erythritol, and heavy cream until smooth and spreadable.
Top each 'mock Cinnabon' with a generous dollop of cream cheese frosting. Optionally, sprinkle with additional cinnamon for garnish.
Serve warm and enjoy your low-carb breakfast treat!
