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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
