Ingredients

Filling

2 tablespoons cinnamon ground
1/4 cup stevia or erythritol, granulated
1 ½ tablespoons coconut oil softened

Dry Ingredients

3 cups almond flour
3 tablespoons tapioca flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt

Wet Ingredients

2 eggs large
1/4 cup coconut oil melted
2 tablespoons sugar-free maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Glaze

8 ounces cream cheese softened
1/4 cup erythritol powdered
2-4 tablespoons milk or almond milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°Fahrenheit and spray a baking dish with a little bit of cooking oil spray.
In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and granulated sweetener.
To make the dough: use two mixing bowls. In the first bowl, mix all the dry ingredients until combined. In the second bowl, whisk all wet ingredients.
Next, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until it starts forming a dough ball.
Sprinkle some almond flour on a large piece of parchment paper and start rolling the dough into an 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
Use a basting brush to evenly spread the softened coconut oil over the surface of the dough.
Evenly sprinkle the oiled dough with the cinnamon mixture.
With the parchment paper, roll up the dough. Slice into 12 rolls, then place them into the prepared dish.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden on top.

To Make the Glaze

Use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sweetener, vanilla and 2 tablespoons milk. Beat until creamy, adding more milk a tbsp at a time, until it reaches desired consistency.
Once the cinnamon rolls are done, allow them to slightly cool. Frost and enjoy!

Notes

Don't over-mix the dough. Over-mixing the dough will affect how the cinnamon rolls bake.
If you don't have keto maple syrup, then you can use Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener.
You can use either dairy or plant-based milk to thin the glaze.
Use almond milk instead of regular milk.
Make sure the cream cheese is softened before beating with a mixer.
Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
