Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/3 cup granulated erythritol
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 3 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 pieces large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons of erythritol, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, xanthan gum, and salt.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is completely melted and combined.
Add the melted cheeses, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until you form a cohesive dough.
Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper. Cover it with another piece of parchment and roll it out into a rectangle approximately 10x12 inches.
Brush the melted butter over the dough. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of erythritol and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon over the butter.
Carefully roll the dough into a log starting from the longer side, using the parchment paper to help guide your roll. Keep it tight but not too tight that the filling squeezes out.
Cut the log into 12 equal pieces. You can use a sharp knife or dental floss to prevent squashing the rolls.
Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown.
Allow the cinnamon buns to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
