Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Dough (Fathead Dough Style):

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

• 2 oz cream cheese

• 1 ½ cups almond flour

• 1 egg

• 2 tbsp granular keto sweetener (like erythritol or allulose)

• 1 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

For the Filling:

• 2 tbsp melted butter

• ¼ cup brown sugar substitute (like Swerve Brown)

• 1 tbsp cinnamon

For the Icing:

• 2 oz cream cheese, softened

• 2 tbsp powdered keto sweetener

• 1–2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (adjust for desired consistency)

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

Step-by-Step: How to Make Keto Cinnamon Rolls

Step 1: Melt the Cheeses

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for an additional 30 seconds until completely melted and combined.

Step 2: Make the Dough

Add the almond flour, baking powder, sweetener, vanilla, salt, and egg to the cheese mixture. Mix well until it forms a smooth dough. It’s easiest to knead this with your hands or use a food processor if the dough seems sticky.

Tip: If the dough is too warm and sticky, let it cool for a minute or lightly dust your hands with almond flour.

Step 3: Roll It Out

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.

Step 4: Add the Filling

Brush the melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon and brown sugar substitute.

Step 5: Roll It Up

Carefully roll the dough into a log, using the parchment paper to help you. Slice into 8–10 rolls using a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss.

Step 6: Bake

Place the rolls in a greased 8x8 baking dish or pie pan. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–22 minutes until golden brown.

Step 7: Mix the Icing

While the rolls bake, combine cream cheese, powdered sweetener, almond milk, and vanilla in a small bowl. Beat until smooth.

Step 8: Ice & Serve

Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before drizzling with icing. Serve warm and enjoy the magic.

Tips for Perfect Keto Cinnamon Rolls

1. Don’t skip the mozzarella.
It sounds odd, but mozzarella provides stretch and structure to mimic gluten.

2. Chill before slicing.
If the dough is too warm, pop it in the freezer for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

3. Use a sharp knife or dental floss.
Floss gives clean cuts without flattening the roll.

4. Customize the filling.
Add chopped pecans or a drizzle of keto caramel for extra indulgence.

5. Store & reheat smart.
Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20 seconds or pop in the oven at 300°F for a few minutes to revive that just-baked feel.

Variations to Try

• 🧡 Pumpkin Spice Rolls: Add 1 tbsp pumpkin puree and swap cinnamon for pumpkin pie spice.

• 🫐 Berry Bliss: Add a spoonful of mashed raspberries to the filling for a fruity twist.

• 🍫 Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls: Mix in keto chocolate chips to the filling before rolling up.

Why These Keto Cinnamon Rolls Actually Work

So how do these end up so fluffy with no gluten or regular flour?

The secret lies in the fathead dough, a genius combo of almond flour and cheese that creates a pliable, chewy texture similar to real dough. When baked, the almond flour firms up and the cheese melts into the structure, giving you that satisfying bite.

You’ll hardly miss the carbs.

Can I Freeze These?

Yes! These freeze beautifully. Just make a batch, freeze them before baking (individually wrapped), and store in a zip-top bag. When ready to bake, let them thaw slightly and pop them in the oven as usual—no need to fully defrost.

Are These Rolls Diabetic-Friendly?

Absolutely. These rolls are sugar-free, use low-glycemic sweeteners like erythritol or monk fruit, and are made with healthy fats and proteins. Just be sure to track your personal carb goals.

What to Serve With Keto Cinnamon Rolls

• ☕ Keto Dalgona Coffee

• 🥓 Crispy Bacon or Keto Sausage Patties

• 🧋 Iced Bulletproof Coffee or Chai Tea Latte

• 🍳 A simple side of eggs for protein balance

They also make a great keto dessert after a savory dinner—just reheat and drizzle with extra icing if you’re feeling fancy.
