Ingredients
  

For the Rolls

  • 3 tablespoon warm water
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 cup fine almond flour
  • cup coconut flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sweetener such as Swerve or Lakanto
  • 2 tablespoon ground flax seed golden preferably for best color
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoon butter melted and cooled
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Filling

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter room temp
  • ¼ cup granulated sweetener such as Swerve or Lakanto
  • 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sweetener such as Swerve or Lakanto
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Line the bottom of a cake pan with parchment paper; set aside. Place warm water in a small bowl and sprinkle yeast over the top. Set aside to proof and foam for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, ¼ cup granulated sweetener, flaxseed, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Create a well in the middle of the dry ingredients with a spoon.
  • Once the yeast is proofed, add in eggs, 2 tablespoons heavy cream, 3 tablespoons cooled melted butter, vinegar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla and whisk well until combined. 
  • Add wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir until thoroughly incorporated. Rest for 5 minutes. The dough will be very sticky.
  • Mix Cinnamon Filling ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • With oiled hands, shape the dough into a ball. Place the ball between 2 large pieces of parchment paper and roll it into a rectangle approximately 14 inches long by 10 inches wide. Spread the cinnamon filling onto the dough, leaving a 1-inch margin at the top empty.
  • Using the parchment as an aid, roll the dough (towards the empty inch) up into a tight log. Seal the edge with wet fingertips. 
  • Cut the log crosswise into 9 equal pieces and transfer rolls to prepared pan. Cover with a kitchen towel and place in a warm space for 45-60 minutes until the dough has almost doubled in size. 
  • While dough proofs, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 
  • Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes until golden brown. If necessary, cover loosely with foil to prevent burning.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze by combining cream cheese, butter, and sweetener in a mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer to whip until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla and salt; add cream 1 tablespoon at a time until a thick, spreadable icing comes together.
  • Cool rolls before spreading frosting on them. Alternatively, you can spread frosting on immediately from the oven if you like more of a glaze.
  • Keep stored in an airtight container (or tightly wrapped in cling film) at room temperature for 2-3 days, warming them up before serving.

Notes

  • These keto cinnamon rolls are the best when they're fresh. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheat them for just a few seconds in the microwave.
  • You'll need to have a powdered sweetener for the frosting and a granulated sweetener for the dough and cinnamon filling. We like to use Lakanto or Swerve in this recipe, but you can also use other 1:1 low carb sweeteners.
  • This dough can be sticky. Add a small amount of oil to your hands to reduce sticking, and be sure to use parchment paper to roll the dough.
