- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Granulated erythritol (or any sugar substitute)
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 100 grams Walnuts, finely chopped
- 100 grams Cream cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the melted butter, whisking until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to a rectangle approximately 30x20 cm.
In a small bowl, mix the erythritol and cinnamon together.
Spread the cream cheese evenly over the rolled dough.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Top the cinnamon sugar with the chopped walnuts.
Starting from the long side, carefully roll the dough into a log. Use the parchment paper to assist in rolling.
Slice the log into 8 even pieces and place them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
