Ingredients
Scale
Cheeses
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
Dry Ingredients
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sweetener
- 1 teaspoon liquid stevia
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Melt Cheeses: In a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove, melt the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese together until fully melted and smooth, creating the base for your dough.
- Make Dough: To the melted cheese mixture, add almond flour, baking powder, and egg white. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms, which may be slightly sticky but workable.
- Roll Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out until about 1/4 inch thick, forming an even rectangle for the filling.
- Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, combine liquid stevia, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon, mixing until well blended to create the sweet cinnamon spread.
- Brush Filling: Brush the cinnamon-stevia mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, ensuring full coverage to infuse the rolls with flavor.
- Roll and Slice: Carefully roll the dough sheet into a tight log. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 6 equal pieces to form individual cinnamon rolls.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the cinnamon roll slices onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 35 minutes or until the rolls turn golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving to let them set and make handling easier.
Notes
- Make sure the cheeses are thoroughly melted to ensure an even dough texture.
- Rolling the dough between parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes rolling easier.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the rolls cleanly to maintain their shape during baking.
- These cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated and lightly warmed before serving.
- Adjust stevia quantity based on your preferred sweetness level.
