Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Make the Dough Base
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 60–90 seconds, stirring halfway, until melted and smooth.
This “fathead dough” base gives keto cinnamon rolls their soft, chewy texture.
Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and sweetener. Mix well to avoid clumps.
Step 4: Combine & Form Dough
Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients. Add eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Mix thoroughly (you may need to knead with your hands) until a smooth dough forms. If sticky, chill for 10–15 minutes.
Step 5: Roll Out the Dough
Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
Try to keep edges even for perfect spirals.
Step 6: Add the Cinnamon Filling
Spread softened butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle brown sweetener and cinnamon on top.
Press gently so it sticks.
Step 7: Roll & Slice
Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 6–8 even rolls using a sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts.
Place rolls in your prepared baking dish.
Step 8: Bake
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Let them cool slightly before frosting.
Step 9: Make the Frosting
Beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sweetener, and vanilla. Add heavy cream gradually until smooth and spreadable.
Step 10: Frost & Serve
Spread frosting over warm rolls so it melts slightly into the swirls.
Serve warm and enjoy that classic cinnamon aroma — without the carbs.
