Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Melt Cheese: Melt the mozzarella and cream cheese together in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove until fully melted and smooth, ensuring an even mixture for the dough.
Make Dough: Add almond flour, baking powder, and egg white to the melted cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms, suitable for rolling out.
Roll Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness, creating a flat and even surface for the filling.
Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, combine liquid stevia, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to create the sweet cinnamon filling.
Apply Filling: Brush the cinnamon mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, ensuring every part is coated for consistent flavor.
Roll Up Dough: Carefully roll the dough into a log shape by lifting the parchment paper, keeping the roll tight but gentle to preserve the layers.
Slice Rolls: Cut the dough log into 6 equal pieces and place each piece on the prepared baking sheet with some space between them.
Bake: Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until they turn golden brown and firm to the touch.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving to let them set and enhance flavor.

Notes

You can substitute liquid stevia with another low-carb sweetener of your choice if preferred.
Make sure to roll the dough evenly to prevent uneven baking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
For a richer flavor, you can sprinkle extra cinnamon on top before baking.
Using parchment paper to roll and bake makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
