Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 large Egg
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Stevia or erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 cup Coconut oil or avocado oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Melt the butter and add it to the dry ingredients along with the egg. Mix until a dough forms. If it feels too sticky, add a little more almond flour.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This will allow the flours to absorb the moisture.
In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Whip until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer.
Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until it's about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into rectangles approximately 3x4 inches.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto one end of each rectangle, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon, and roll up tightly. Seal the edges by pinching the dough, so it doesn’t open during frying.
In a deep frying pan, heat the coconut or avocado oil over medium heat to about 350°F (175°C). You can test if it's hot enough by dipping a small piece of dough in the oil; it should bubble up quickly.
Carefully place the rolls into the oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Remove the fried rolls and place them on paper towels to drain the excess oil.
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Optionally, sprinkle extra sweetener and cinnamon over the top before serving.
