Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cinnamon rolls.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, and ground cinnamon to create the dry base of the dough.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Form Dough: Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir well until a cohesive dough forms ready to be rolled.
- Roll Out Dough: On a surface lightly dusted with almond or coconut flour, roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness for rolling up.
- Butter and Sprinkle: Spread softened butter evenly over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle additional erythritol and cinnamon on top for sweetness and spice.
- Roll and Cut: Roll the dough tightly into a log shape, then cut into 1-inch pieces to form individual cinnamon rolls.
- Arrange in Dish: Place the cut rolls into a greased baking dish ensuring they are spaced slightly apart to bake evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- Use erythritol or monk fruit sweetener for a keto-friendly sugar alternative.
- Ensure the butter used for spreading on the rolls is softened to help it spread evenly.
- You can dust the rolling surface lightly with coconut or almond flour to prevent sticking.
- For extra crispiness, bake until the edges are nicely browned but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- These rolls can be served warm and are best enjoyed fresh the same day.
