Ingredients
For the dough
2 cups almond flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons erythritol or any granulated sweetener of choice
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese low moisture
2 ounces cream cheese
2 large eggs
For the filling
1/4 cup butter melted
1/3 cup brown sugar substitute
1 tablespoon cinnamon
For the frosting
4 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup butter softened
2 cups powdered sugar substitute
1-2 tablespoons milk * see notes
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and sugar. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese and microwave in 20-second spurts until warm. Whisk together until combined and smooth.
Transfer the melted cheese into a food processor, add the eggs and dry ingredients, and blend until the dough is smooth.
Roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Brush the top with melted butter, then sprinkle with the brown sugar substitute and cinnamon. Roll the dough into a log. Using a sharp knife, slice off the uneven ends of the roll. Slice the log into 12 rolls. Place the rolls into the baking dish.
Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and the dough is cooked.
Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and frost them.
To make the frosting, whisk together the cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar. Add the milk, as needed, until thick and creamy.
Notes
* You may need more if you prefer a thinner frosting.
TO STORE: Store leftovers in a sealable container, in the refrigerator. They will keep well for up to 5 days. Any longer and the glaze will begin to seep into the rolls.
TO FREEZE: Place cooled cinnamon rolls in a ziplock bag and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. If possible, keep them unfrosted.
TO REHEAT: Microwave the cinnamon rolls in 20-second spurts until warm.
