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
- Softened butter (for spreading)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for baking the rolls evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and cinnamon to create a well-balanced dry base for the dough.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Whisk together the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smooth and fully incorporated, ensuring a cohesive dough.
- Form Dough: Mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until a uniform dough forms, suitable for rolling out without crumbling.
- Roll Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness to prepare for layering and rolling.
- Butter and Sprinkle: Spread softened butter over the dough’s surface evenly, then sprinkle additional erythritol and cinnamon to enhance the cinnamon roll flavor profile.
- Shape Rolls: Roll the dough tightly into a log shape, then cut into 1-inch pieces to form individual rolls.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the rolls into a greased baking dish, spaced as desired for even baking.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes until rolls are golden brown and crispy on the outside, indicating they are fully cooked and ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Ensure the butter used for spreading is softened for easy spreading on the dough.
- You can substitute erythritol with monk fruit sweetener for a different keto-friendly sweetness.
- Do not overbake to avoid drying out the rolls; golden brown indicates they are cooked perfectly.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the rolled dough to keep edges neat and prevent tearing.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
