Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 1/4 cup almond flour (150g)
  • 1/4 cup yogurt (60g)
  • 3 tbsp powdered sweetener, sifted (12g)
  • 1 tsp baking powder (4g)
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Filling

  • 2 tbsp granulated sweetener (24g)
  • 2 tbsp butter or coconut oil, softened (24g)
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon (5g)
  • 3 tbsp diced walnuts (20g) (optional)

Frosting

  • 1/3 cup keto cream cheese frosting or icing of choice (80g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350° Fahrenheit (177° Celsius) to ensure it's properly heated for baking the cinnamon rolls.
  2. Make the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, powdered sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients, then add the yogurt and mix thoroughly.
  3. Form the dough ball: The dough will initially seem dry; continue stirring for at least one minute, breaking up any large clumps until a large dough ball forms. Avoid adding any extra liquid or yogurt for best results.
  4. Roll out the dough: Transfer the dough ball onto a clean nonstick or floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a long rectangle approximately 1/16th of an inch thick.
  5. Prepare the filling: In a small dish, mix the granulated sweetener and ground cinnamon together. Whip in the softened butter or coconut oil using a fork until the mixture becomes smooth and spreadable.
  6. Spread the filling: Evenly spread the cinnamon butter mixture over the rolled-out dough. Optionally, sprinkle diced walnuts or chocolate chips on top for added texture and flavor.
  7. Cut the dough: Slice the dough lengthwise into eight equal pieces. For larger cinnamon rolls, you may choose to cut fewer slices.
  8. Roll the slices: Carefully roll up each sliced piece. If the dough cracks, gently press it back together using your hands to maintain shape.
  9. Arrange and bake: Place the rolled buns into a small baking dish, positioning them on the oven's center rack. Bake for 10 minutes until cooked through and slightly golden.
  10. Cool and frost: Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and allow them to cool before spreading keto cream cheese frosting on top. Serve warm for breakfast or as a dessert treat.

Notes

  • Do not add extra liquids beyond the specified yogurt to maintain the dough consistency.
  • Options like walnuts or chocolate chips add flavor and texture but can be omitted for nut allergies or preferences.
  • Use a clean nonstick or lightly floured surface to prevent dough sticking during rolling.
  • Frost the cinnamon rolls only after they have cooled to avoid melting the frosting.
  • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
