Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Additional softened butter, for spreading
  • Additional erythritol and cinnamon, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking your cinnamon rolls.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and cinnamon thoroughly to create the base flavor and structure for your dough.
  3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth to add moisture and richness to the dough.
  4. Combine and Form Dough: Mix the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until well combined, forming a cohesive dough ready for rolling.
  5. Roll Out the Dough: Lightly flour a surface and roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness, preparing it for the cinnamon filling layer.
  6. Butter and Sprinkle: Spread softened butter evenly over the rolled dough, then sprinkle with a mixture of erythritol and cinnamon to infuse sweetness and spice.
  7. Roll and Slice: Tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 1-inch pieces to form the individual cinnamon rolls.
  8. Arrange and Bake: Place the cinnamon roll pieces into a greased baking dish spaced evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter used for spreading is softened to room temperature for easier application.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil or a dairy-free margarine.
  • Use erythritol or monk fruit sweetener for the best keto-friendly sweetness without an aftertaste.
  • Allow rolls to cool slightly before serving to enhance crispiness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently to maintain texture.
