Each roll has two visible layers: a soft, creamy white interior swirl of frosting or cream cheese filling, tightly rolled inside a golden-brown outer layer covered with a grainy cinnamon sugar coating giving it a textured look. The cinnamon coating has small dark cinnamon specks that contrast with the light tan dough. The background and surface are a white marbled texture, making the rolls stand out with warm tones.

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.

How to Serve

Seven small cinnamon roll cakes are arranged closely on a white plate, each with two visible layers: a light brown cinnamon sugar spiral cake layer on top and bottom, and a thick middle layer of white cream filling. The cinnamon sugar layer looks soft and slightly grainy with a golden-brown color and a dusting of cinnamon. The rolls have a round shape with tight, even spirals. The plate rests on a white marbled surface with a dark fabric partially visible underneath. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

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

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.
