Ingredients For Keto Cinnamon Rolls

For these fathead cinnamon rolls dough cinnamon rolls, you’ll need just a few wholesome ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen. 

For the dough

The process of making the cinnamon roll dough is super similar to fathead pizza and fathead bagels. So make sure to check those recipes for more tips and tricks. It’s super easy to make this chewy dough that’s perfect for keto baking and doesn’t taste like mozzarella at all.

• Mozzarella – has a neutral flavor and acts as gluten would in regular flour to create that specific chewy texture. Choose pre-shredded, low moisture, part-skim mozzarella for the best result. Fresh mozzarella is not an option because there’s too much liquid.
• Cream Cheese – softened full-fat cream cheese is the best and makes the fathead dough less dense.
• Almond Flour – make sure you are using superfine almond flour, not an almond meal. Coconut flour can not be used to replace almond flour.
• Eggs – use room temperature eggs. They are used to bind everything together.
• Sweetener –  Feel free to use any low-carb sweetener that you like. 
• Baking Powder – helps the dough rise.

For The Filling

• Butter – use unsalted butter for a buttery taste.
• Brown Sugar Substitute – regular sugar substitute is fine, but brown sugar adds a distinct flavor.
• Cinnamon – no keto cinnamon roll without the cinnamon!

For The Frosting

• Cream Cheese – use softened cream cheese to avoid any lumps.
• Butter – room temperature butter is required to ensure good mixing.
• Sweetener – use powdered sweetener to dissolve easier into the frosting. 
• Almond Milk – helps the filling to be easier to spread.

How To Make These Keto Cinnamon Rolls

2. Place the cheese mixture into a food processor bowl. Add the eggs, sweetener, almond flour, and baking powder. Pulse for 30 seconds or until the dough looks uniform. Form the dough into a ball. If the dough looks too sticky, refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
3. Roll the dough into a rectangle between two pieces of parchment paper
4. Make the filling: Combine cinnamon and brown sweetener in a small bowl. Bush with melted butter and generously sprinkle with cinnamon mixture.
5. Roll the dough into a log, then with a sharp knife, slice it into 12 rolls and place them on the baking dish.
