Ingredients

• 2 cups blanched almond flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/3 cup granulated erythritol
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 3 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 pieces large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup butter, melted

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-sized bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons of erythritol, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, xanthan gum, and salt.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is completely melted and combined.

Step 4

Add the melted cheeses, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until you form a cohesive dough.

Step 5

Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper. Cover it with another piece of parchment and roll it out into a rectangle approximately 10x12 inches.

Step 6

Brush the melted butter over the dough. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of erythritol and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon over the butter.

Step 7

Carefully roll the dough into a log starting from the longer side, using the parchment paper to help guide your roll. Keep it tight but not too tight that the filling squeezes out.

Step 8

Cut the log into 12 equal pieces. You can use a sharp knife or dental floss to prevent squashing the rolls.

Step 9

Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the cinnamon buns to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
