Keto cinnamon rolls
Ingredients
Base
1.5 Cups Mozzarella Cheese
2 Tbsp Cream Cheese
1 Egg
3/4 Cups Almond Flour
1 Tbsp Erythritol (SoNourished) (or xylitol)
Cinnamon Inside
1 Tbsp Erythritol (SoNourished) (or xylitol)
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 Tbsp Warm Water
Icing
1 Tbsp Cream Cheese
1 Tbsp Heavy Cream
1 Tbsp Erythritol (SoNourished) (or xylitol)
Instructions
Mix the cheese together into a microwave safe bowl, and heat on high in 30 second increments until the mixture is melted just enough to be able to bind completely. (this should be about 1.5 mins)
Mix in the stevia, egg, almond flour. Put in between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out into a rectangle.
Place the dough in the oven flat out for around 5 mins at 180C (355F). Remove from oven and let it cool slightly.
Mix the stevia, cinnamon, and water in a small cup and spread over the rolled out cheese mixture.
Begin from one side, and roll the scrolls into one long roll. Cut into 2 finger lengths and place onto a baking tray. Put in the oven at 180 C (355F) for another 7 mins.
Mix the cream cheese, cream and stevia together and but it into a plastic bag. Cut the corner off and pipe over the cinnamon scrolls. Enjoy!
My thoughts on these would be to try adding a little bit of yeast and maple syrup (the yeast will eat the sugar) or baking powder to allow them to puff up a bit. Could also try omitting cinnamon and using a sugar free berry spread to change up the recipe. I would also use lots of vanilla in either recipe.
Keto Rum Balls (nice Christmas addition!)
Ingredients
1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder
1/4 Cup Coconut Oil
1/4 Cup Almond Flour
2 Tbsp Coconut Flour
2 Tbsp. Heavy Cream
1/2 Cup shredded coconut
2 Tsp Erythritol (SoNourished) (or xylitol)
60 ml Rum (2 oz)
Instructions
Mix all the ingredients together into a bowl. Combine until sticky. Depending on the weather, if it gets to sloppy, just add some more almond flour to the mix.
Roll into balls and roll in some extra shredded coconut. (I blended my shredded coconut in the nutri-bullet so it was smaller shreds). Let the disco overwhelm you as you point to the sky, then point to the floor whilst making these ones!
Refrigerate on a plate and enjoy!
