Ingredients
Scale
- Dough:
- 1 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella
- 3 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (more to taste)
- 1 egg, whisked
- 2 squeezes of liquid stevia (more to taste)
- Filling:
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- Frosting:
- 4 tbs cream cheese
- 2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup butter at room temperature
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 squeezes of liquid stevia (or more to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a bowl, add mozzarella and cream cheese. Put in the microwave for one minute, take out and stir. Put in the microwave for another minute, stir again. Add in the almond flour, stevia, cinnamon and the egg. Mix to combine well.
- The dough will be a little wet but if it’s too wet that you can’t get it to stop sticking to your fingers then add a little more almond flour.
- Roll the dough out flat with a rolling pin or with a piece of plastic wrap on top and use a wine bottle.
- Once you’ve rolled it out, spread on the melted butter and sprinkle on the cinnamon. Roll it up long ways until you have a long cylinder. Use a knife or pizza cutter and cut into pieces. Place these on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
- While they’re baking, make the frosting. You can do this with a hand or stand mixer. Add cream cheese and butter and mix until creamy. Add in the vanilla extract and lemon juice. Mix until well incorporated.
- Once cinnamon rolls are done, put on frosting. If you put it on immediately, it will melt a little into the actual cinnamon roll. Otherwise wait five to ten minutes to add it.
Notes
If you want these to be sweeter, add some more stevia.
Use almond flour instead of almond meal. If you use almond meal, these will turn out more grainy.
You can definitely add some more seasonings to this if desired. Some good things would be more vanilla or even vanilla bean, orange zest or lemon zest.
