These Keto Cinnamon Rolls are soft, gooey, and irresistibly comforting—without the sugar or carbs. Made with low-carb fathead dough, a warm cinnamon filling, and a creamy keto-friendly frosting, they deliver all the flavor of a classic cinnamon roll with just 1.3 net carbs per serving. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a guilt-free snack!

Ingredients

  • 175 g shredded mozzarella (about 1½ cups)
  • 80 g extra-fine almond flour (about ¾ cup)
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • ½ tsp baking powder

For the Filling:

  • 2 tsp water (or melted butter for richer flavor)
  • 2 tbsp granular sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)
  • 2 crushed cinnamon sticks (or 2 tsp ground cinnamon)

For the Frosting:

  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 drops vanilla stevia (or ½ tsp vanilla extract + sweetener to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (360°F).
  2. Microwave mozzarella and cream cheese in a bowl for 90 seconds until melted but not bubbling.
  3. Quickly stir in the egg until well combined.
  4. Add almond flour and baking powder. Knead until a smooth dough forms (grease hands if sticky).
  5. Divide dough into 6 pieces. Roll each into a 40 cm rope, flatten, and spread with the filling paste made from water, sweetener, and cinnamon.
  6. Roll each strip into a log and slice diagonally to create 2 rolls from each strip (total of 12 rolls).
  7. Place on a baking tray or in a pie dish and bake for 20 minutes until golden.
  8. Mix frosting ingredients: cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and stevia. Spread over warm rolls before serving.

Notes

  • Use a brown sugar-style sweetener for a richer flavor.
  • Sunflower seed flour can be substituted for almond flour for a nut-free version.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for flavor variety.
  • Vanilla extract and powdered erythritol can be used in place of stevia drops.
