Ingredients

• 150 grams Almond flour
• 30 grams Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 120 grams Cream cheese
• 125 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons Erythritol sweetener
• 40 grams Raisins
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute ingredients.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, add the cream cheese and butter. Heat in the microwave for about 45 seconds or until both are melted and can be stirred together to form a smooth mixture.

Step 4

Add the melted cream cheese and butter to the dry ingredients, followed by the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Sprinkle the erythritol sweetener evenly over the dough along with the ground cinnamon.

Step 7

Distribute the raisins evenly over the cinnamon-sweetener layer.

Step 8

Starting from the longer side, gently roll the dough into a log shape, ensuring not to tear the dough.

Step 9

Slice the log into 8 equal pieces, carefully maintaining the swirl each slice carries.

Step 10

Place each piece onto the prepared baking sheet, cut side up, and ensure they are spread out evenly.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Allow the rolls to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your low carb Pain au Raisin!
