Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 egg
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 0.5 cup erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 to 1.5 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
To the cheese mixture, add the almond flour mixture, egg, and almond milk. Mix well until a dough forms. Knead the dough with your hands until it is smooth and well combined.
Roll out the dough between two pieces of parchment paper until it is approximately 1/4 inch thick and forms a rectangle shape.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, 2 tablespoons of erythritol sweetener, and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon. Spread this cinnamon-butter mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Carefully roll the dough into a log shape, starting from one of the longer sides. Slice the log into 8 equal pieces.
Place the rolls cut side down into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown.
While the buns are baking, prepare the frosting by mixing 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of powdered erythritol, 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the cinnamon buns are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the cream cheese frosting over the warm buns before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious keto cinnamon buns!
