Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Filling
- 1 teaspoon liquid stevia
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
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.
