Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 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 liquid stevia
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking during baking.
- Melt Cheeses: Melt the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese together in a microwave-safe bowl or stovetop until smooth and fully combined.
- Make Dough: Add almond flour, baking powder, and egg white to the melted cheese mixture and stir thoroughly until the dough comes together.
- Roll Dough: Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness to prepare for filling.
- Prepare Cinnamon Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the liquid stevia, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon filling.
- Apply Filling and Roll: Brush the cinnamon mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough and carefully roll it up into a log shape.
- Slice Rolls: Cut the rolled dough into 6 equal pieces and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet spaced apart.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving to let the structure set and make handling easier.
Notes
- Ensure the cheeses are fully melted and combined to create a smooth dough texture.
- Use parchment paper both for rolling and baking to prevent sticking and facilitate easy handling.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of liquid stevia to taste.
- Allow rolls to cool slightly as they will firm up and be easier to eat.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
