Almond Flour Cinnamon Rolls – Low Carb and Gluten-Free

Tender, moist, and perfectly cinnamon-y with a biscuit-like texture, these cinnamon rolls are a sweet Keto treat!

Course Breakfast
Cuisine Breakfast
Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 8 cinnamon rolls

Ingredients

Dough:

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 3 tbsp granular Swerve Sweetener or other granulated erythritol
  • 3 tbsp unflavored whey Protein powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup butter melted

Filling:

  • 1 tbsp butter melted
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar substitute I used Ideal
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Cream cheese Icing

  • 2 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 tbsp powdered Swerve Sweetener or other powdered erythritol
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325F and grease an 8-inch round cake pan with butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, Swerve, whey protein, baking powder, baking soda, salt and xanthan gum.

  3. Stir in eggs and butter until dough comes together. It will be quite sticky.
  4. Turn out dough onto a large piece of parchment, and then pat into a rough rectangle.
  5. Top with another piece of parchment and roll out to about 10x8 inches. Peel off top piece of parchment paper.
  6. Brush dough with melted butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar substitute and cinnamon, going almost right to edges.
  7. Starting with the far, longer edge of your dough, gently lift away from the parchment and roll up tightly towards you. Pinch the seam to seal.
  8. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut into 8 equal portions. Place in prepared cake pan, just barely touching each other, and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until just golden brown. Remove and let cool 10 minutes.
  9. For the Frosting, beat all ingredients in a medium bowl and then pipe or spread onto warm rolls.

Vegan cinnamon rolls traditional (dozen) and mostly gluten free Vegan sugar free cinnamon rolls (three)




This is a recipe before and after comparison




I can easily make traditional baked goods but I want to step up my game and start trying more gluten free alternatives.




They taste nearly the same except the mostly gluten free version taste more like coconut flour one of the main ingredients. Very delightful.

This was my lunch but really was more like a late lunch snack because my Breakfast shake was later and so filling....

parm crips ( Whole Foods) dipped in mashed avocado. I bought a few convenience items that I can occasionally have if I don’t want to cook or want a huge meal. Plus my son and husband like the mashed avocado cups. These aren’t guacamole but similar and delicious.

No after - I had .75 ounces of crisp (about 4) and one container of avocado.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
