Almond Flour Low Carb Keto Cinnamon Rolls

Are you missing that heart-warming sweet smell of freshly baked cinnamon rolls? We all know nothing can stop us from having our most favorite delight, not even the carbs! So, here comes a low-carb cinnamon rolls recipe to die for, as these cinnamon rolls are not only healthy and free from high carb sugars and flours but are they are equally sweet and delicious· Ever since I switched to a low carb diet, I am always searching for healthy, and delicious keto low carb dessert recipes. To be honest, the first time I went ahead with this recipe, I was a bit concerned about the final taste and texture of these cinnamon rolls. But when I served them at the table, it wasn’t just me who instantly fell for great irresistible taste, but everyone in my home and the guests visiting then loved them. And nobody couldn’t even realize that those cinnamon rolls were free from any high carb ingredient.

The first time I tried the basic cinnamon rolls recipe on my low carb menu, it felt something was missing out, and then I realized that a low-carb cinnamon rolls glaze or a creamy topping can make this dessert complete. So, I worked out with low-carb alternatives to make a glaze and then served those cinnamon rolls with the prepared glaze. The result was even better than the last time because the glaze makes the rolls soft and juicy. And the best part is that the glaze can be prepared at the last minute before serving. So, what I do is that I keep glaze ready in a nozzle bottle and then pour it over the cinnamon rolls just minutes before the serving. Or you can serve the glaze along with the rolls so that everyone could pour it over their cinnamon rolls as per their liking.

How to Make Low-carb Cinnamon Rolls?

Well, to make these delicious cinnamon rolls at home, you don’t need to travel miles to get all the required ingredients. Just visit your nearby grocery store, and you will probably find all the ingredients in one place. Since these cinnamon rolls are low-carb, you will need to find all the low-carb alternatives of the ingredients that we normally use to make baked items. Or, if you are on a ketogenic diet, you will probably have them stocked in your kitchen cabinets. While there are several ways to put these ingredients together, I use this combination, which gives me the perfect texture and taste every time. So, if you don’t want to risk it, then follow this recipe and use the exact proportions of ingredients. Or if you are making cinnamon rolls for more servings than double the ingredients while keeping up the exact ratios. 

Well, there are a number of ingredients that are used to make this recipe perfect, but the main ingredients that you need to focus on and be extra-careful about are, are the following.

Blanched Almond Flour:

It is a commonly used low-carb flour substitute, which is used for baking a number of baked goods like keto muffins, keto bread, low-carb cakes, etc. I use blanched almond flour, which is processed out of the blanched almond nuts, and it is perfect for getting the desired texture in your cinnamon rolls. However, you can also go for other low-carb flours like coconut flour to make these rolls, if almond flour is not readily available.

Mozzarella Cheese and Cream Cheese:

The cream cheese and mozzarella cheese are added to the recipe not just to get a taste and good texture, but it also increases the fat content of these cinnamon rolls, which makes it a perfect keto dessert. This is the kind of fat I’m happy to consume.

Low-carb Sweeteners:

Here is am using a combination of different low sweeteners, i.e., erythritol and brown swerve, to sweeten the cinnamon rolls. These sweeteners are equally sweet as the table sugar so you can use them in a good amount. Whereas other low-carb sweeteners like stevia are extremely sweet, so they are not suitable for this recipe.
