Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Filling
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon liquid stevia
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Melt the cheeses: Combine mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl or use the stovetop to melt them together. Stir continuously until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Make the dough: To the melted cheese mixture, add almond flour, baking powder, and egg white. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms that can be handled easily.
- Roll out the dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out evenly until about 1/4 inch thick, forming a rectangular shape.
- Prepare cinnamon filling: In a small bowl, stir together the liquid stevia, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well blended.
- Apply filling and roll: Brush the cinnamon mixture evenly over the rolled dough. Carefully roll the dough up tightly into a log shape along the longer edge.
- Slice the rolls: Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled log into 6 equal pieces. Place each slice spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown on top.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving so they set and are easier to handle.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh mozzarella cheese for melting.
- Be gentle when rolling the dough to avoid tearing.
- These cinnamon rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving to restore softness.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less liquid stevia.
