Ingredients:

For the cinnamon rolls:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/4 cup granulated erythritol or other preferred sweetener
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the cinnamon filling:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tbsp granulated erythritol or other sweetener of choice
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the cream cheese frosting:

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol or sweetener of choice
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
3. Add the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. To make a dough, mix all of the ingredients.
4. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
5. For the cinnamon filling, spread the softened butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the erythritol and ground cinnamon on top.
6. Carefully roll up the dough from one of the long sides, creating a log. Slice the log into 8 equal-sized rolls.
7. Place the rolls in the prepared baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
8. While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
9. Once the rolls are done baking, let them cool slightly before spreading the cream cheese frosting over the top.
10. Serve the keto cinnamon rolls warm and enjoy!

Tips:

• If you prefer a more gooey cinnamon roll, you can add a bit of melted butter and extra cinnamon to the filling.
• Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your taste by using more or less sweetener in both the dough and the filling.
• These cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days. Just warm them up before serving.
