Can you freeze Keto cinnamon rolls?

Absolutely! Just place it in an airtight storage container or bag and place it in the freezer for up to six months. We suggest making the cream cheese frosting right before serving. When ready to eat, thaw in the fridge the night before and reheat in the microwave. Then add the frosting.

Not really! Sticky buns are typically made with nuts, but without cream cheese, but cinnamon buns and cinnamon rolls are the same things!

How to store keto cinnamon rolls?

Place already cooled cinnamon rolls in a tightly sealed container and store in the fridge for up to 7 days. When ready to eat, reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Store the cream cheese in a separate container and top the cinnamon rolls when ready to serve.
