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.

My versions were vegan so a hard deviation from recipe listed, but I don't expect many other people here are vegan pathed so omnivore recipe posted.

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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
