The image shows eight cinnamon roll-shaped pastries arranged in a close cluster on a white plate. Each pastry has two main layers: a light golden brown rolled dough layer on the top and bottom, sprinkled generously with cinnamon sugar giving a textured, slightly grainy look, and a thick, creamy white frosting layer sandwiched in the middle. The dough layers have a soft, fluffy appearance with visible swirls, while the frosting looks smooth and rich, slightly spilling out from between the layers. The background surface is a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened before use for easy mixing)
  • 1 cup Almond Flour (coconut flour can be used as a substitute, but reduce the amount since it’s more absorbent)
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Flour (best used in combination with almond flour for optimal texture)
  • 1 cup Erythritol (other keto sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit work well too)
  • 1 large Egg (binds the mixture together)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (using pure extract is recommended for the best taste)
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder (make sure it’s evenly mixed to avoid lumps)
  • 1/2 tsp Salt (elevates the overall flavor of the roll-ups)
  • 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon (consider adding nutmeg for extra depth)
  • Additional Sweetener (optional) (a light dusting with powdered erythritol enhances visual appeal and taste)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well blended to create a smooth dough texture.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, egg, and vanilla extract until you achieve a creamy consistency, ensuring that no lumps remain.
  3. Step 3: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the cream cheese mixture. Continue mixing until a cohesive dough forms. If it feels too sticky, allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Place your dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Gently roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness, shaping it into a rectangle for even filling distribution.
  5. Step 5: In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon with an additional sweetener if desired. Spread this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
  6. Step 6: Using the parchment paper for support, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Once rolled, slice it into 1-inch pieces to form individual roll-ups.
  7. Step 7: Preheat your skillet over medium heat. Cook the roll-ups cut-side down for 3-4 minutes per side until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  8. Step 8: Allow the roll-ups to cool slightly before serving. Dust them with a mixture of cinnamon and erythritol before enjoying.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon mixture before spreading it on the dough.
  • Use coconut flour carefully; it absorbs moisture more than almond flour, so reduce its quantity if substituting completely.
  • A light dusting of powdered erythritol adds a lovely sparkle and enhances sweetness without extra carbs.
  • Serve with sugar-free whipped cream or low-carb syrup for an indulgent treat.

Storage

Store any leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to restore their crispiness. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer and thaw before reheating.

How to Serve

The image shows several rolled pastries placed closely together on a white plate, each roll having two main layers: a golden-brown outer layer covered in a fine dark cinnamon sugar coating that gives it a slightly rough texture, and a soft, smooth creamy white inner layer visible in the swirled center of each roll. The rolls are stacked side by side, creating a neat row with soft focus on the background rolls and sharp focus on the two front rolls. The plate rests on a white marbled surface, adding a clean contrast to the warm tones of the pastries. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different sweetener instead of erythritol?

Yes, stevia, monk fruit, or other keto-friendly sweeteners work well. Adjust the quantity according to sweetness level and taste preference.

What if my dough is too sticky to roll out?

If the dough feels sticky, let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the flours to absorb moisture. You can also lightly dust the parchment paper with almond flour to prevent sticking while rolling.
