Indulgent Crispy Keto Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll Ups Recipe

Introduction

These Indulgent Crispy Keto Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll Ups offer a delightful low-carb treat that’s both crispy and creamy. Perfect for a sweet breakfast or a guilt-free snack, they combine warm cinnamon flavors with a rich cream cheese dough.

Ingredients

• 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
• 1 cup Almond Flour (coconut flour can be used as a substitute, but reduce the amount)
• ¼ cup Coconut Flour
• 1 cup Erythritol (other keto sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit work well too)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• ½ teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
• Additional sweetener (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
3. Step 3: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the cream cheese mixture, mixing until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
4. Step 4: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and gently roll it out to about ¼-inch thickness, shaping it into a rectangle.
5. Step 5: In a small bowl, mix ground cinnamon with additional sweetener if using. Spread this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
6. Step 6: Using the parchment paper to help, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Slice into 1-inch pieces to form individual roll-ups.
7. Step 7: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the roll-ups cut-side down for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
8. Step 8: Let the roll-ups cool slightly, then dust with cinnamon and erythritol mixture before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon filling for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
• If coconut flour is your only option, reduce its quantity because it absorbs more moisture than almond flour.
• Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor impact.
• For a sweeter finish, lightly dust with powdered erythritol before serving.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to restore crispness before enjoying again.

FAQs

Can I use other sweeteners instead of erythritol?

Yes, stevia, monk fruit, or other keto-friendly sweeteners can be used as a substitute, but adjust the quantity according to sweetness level.

How do I prevent the roll-ups from sticking while cooking?

Make sure your skillet is preheated and lightly greased if necessary. Cooking cut-side down ensures they crisp up nicely without sticking.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Dough

• 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened before use for easy mixing
• 1 cup Almond Flour (coconut flour can be used as a substitute, but reduce the amount since it’s more absorbent)
• ¼ cup Coconut Flour (best used in combination with almond flour for optimal texture)
• 1 cup Erythritol (other keto sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit work well too)
• 1 large Egg (binds the mixture together)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (using pure extract is recommended for the best taste)
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder (make sure it’s evenly mixed to avoid lumps)
• ½ teaspoon Salt (elevates the overall flavor of the roll-ups)

For the Cinnamon Filling

• 2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (consider adding nutmeg for extra depth)
• Additional Sweetener (optional; a light dusting with powdered erythritol enhances visual appeal and taste)

Instructions

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well blended to create a smooth dough texture.
2. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, egg, and vanilla extract until you achieve a creamy consistency, ensuring that no lumps remain.
3. Form Dough: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the cream cheese mixture. Continue mixing until a cohesive dough forms. If it feels too sticky, allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes.
4. Roll Out Dough: Place your dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Gently roll it out to about ¼-inch thickness, shaping it into a rectangle for even filling distribution.
5. Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon with an additional sweetener if desired. Spread this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
6. Roll and Slice: Using the parchment paper for support, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Once rolled, slice it into 1-inch pieces to form individual roll-ups.
7. Cook Roll-Ups: Preheat your skillet over medium heat. Cook the roll-ups cut-side down for 3-4 minutes per side until they turn golden brown and crispy.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the roll-ups to cool slightly before serving. Dust them with a mixture of cinnamon and erythritol before enjoying.

Notes

• Using parchment paper to roll out the dough helps prevent sticking and makes rolling easier.
• Resting the dough if it feels sticky allows the flours to absorb moisture and results in better texture.
• You can add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon filling for extra flavor depth.
• Cooking on medium heat prevents burning while ensuring the roll-ups crisp up nicely.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before consuming for best texture.
