Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Filling
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon liquid stevia
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat the 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 and cream cheese together until fully melted and smooth, creating the base for the dough.
- Make Dough: Add almond flour, baking powder, and egg white to the melted cheese mixture and mix thoroughly until a pliable dough forms.
- Roll Out Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out evenly to about 1/4 inch thickness to prepare for filling.
- Prepare Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, combine the liquid stevia, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon, mixing well to create a flavorful filling.
- Apply Filling and Roll: Brush the cinnamon mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, then carefully roll the dough into a tight log shape to form the cinnamon rolls.
- Slice Rolls: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into 6 equal pieces and place them spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the cinnamon rolls for 35 minutes or until they turn golden brown and the dough is fully cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving to set their shape and enhance flavor.
