Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Butter, unsalted
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Erythritol sweetener
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Pecans, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Almond milk, unsweetened

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine butter, cream cheese, and mozzarella cheese, then melt them together in the microwave or a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.

Step 4

Let the cheese mixture cool slightly, then add one egg and mix until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until a smooth dough forms.

Step 6

Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle about 1/3 inch thick.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the erythritol sweetener and cinnamon.

Step 8

Brush the dough with almond milk and sprinkle the cinnamon-erythritol mixture and chopped pecans evenly over the dough.

Step 9

Starting from one of the long edges, carefully roll the dough into a log. Use the parchment paper to help guide the roll.

Step 10

Once rolled, cut the log into 8 equal pieces and place them flat in the prepared baking dish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the buns are golden brown.

Step 12

Allow to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a drizzle of keto-friendly icing.
