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 Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon liquid stevia
- 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 and ensure easy cleanup.
- Melt Cheeses: Melt the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese together in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove until fully melted and smooth, which will create the base for the dough.
- Mix Dough: To the melted cheese mixture, add almond flour, baking powder, and egg white. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms that can be rolled out without sticking.
- Roll Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and gently roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness for even baking and proper texture.
- Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, combine liquid stevia, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to create the sweet cinnamon filling.
- Assemble Rolls: Brush the cinnamon mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough. Carefully roll the dough into a log shape to form the cinnamon rolls.
- Slice Rolls: Slice the rolled dough log into 6 equal pieces and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing slightly to allow expansion.
- Bake: Bake the cinnamon rolls for 35 minutes or until they turn golden brown, indicating they are cooked through and ready to enjoy.
- Cool and Serve: Let the rolls cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving to allow them to set and enhance flavor.
