Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Almond Flour (finely ground, low‑carb)
- 1 tablespoon Egg White Powder (helps make the roll fluffy without a whole egg)
- 1.5 teaspoons Sugar‑Free Sweetener (erythritol, monk‑fruit blend, or stevia blend)
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder (aluminum‑free)
- 1/4 teaspoon Xanthan Gum (provides structure since no whole egg is used)
- 1 pinch Salt (enhances flavor)
- 1.5 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted; divided (1 tbsp for dough, ½ tbsp for filling))
- 1 tablespoon Sour Cream (full‑fat; can substitute plain Greek yogurt)
- 1 tablespoon Water (room temperature)
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (for the filling)
- 0.5 ounce Cream Cheese (softened; for frosting)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered Sugar‑Free Sweetener (for frosting; powdered erythritol or monk‑fruit blend)
Instructions
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a small bowl combine 1/3 cup almond flour, 1 tablespoon egg white powder, 1‑2 teaspoons sugar‑free sweetener, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum, and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly distributed.
Time: PT5M
Prepare Wet Mixture
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in the microwave (about 20‑30 seconds). Add 1 tablespoon sour cream (or plain yogurt) and 1 tablespoon water. Stir until smooth.
Time: PT5M
Combine Wet and Dry
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon until a sticky dough forms.
Time: PT2M
Make Cinnamon Filling
Melt ½ tablespoon butter (microwave or stovetop). Stir in ½ tablespoon sugar‑free sweetener, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until a smooth, glossy mixture forms.
Time: PT2M
Prepare Parchment Surface
Lay a damp paper towel on the countertop, then place one sheet of parchment paper on top. This prevents the parchment from sliding while you shape the dough.
Time: PT1M
Shape Dough into a Strip
Using your hands, gently press and spread the dough on the parchment into a long, thin rectangle about 8‑10 inches long and 1‑1.5 inches wide.
Time: PT5M
Add Filling and Roll
Brush the cinnamon‑butter mixture evenly over the dough strip with a pastry brush. Starting at one short end, roll the dough tightly like a jelly roll. Gently press the roll to flatten it into a shorter, wider shape.
Time: PT3M
Prepare Ramekin and Bake
Spray the inside of a ramekin with coconut‑oil spray. Transfer the rolled dough into the ramekin, seam side down. Bake in a pre‑heated oven at 375°F for 17 minutes, or until the roll has risen and the top is golden brown.
Time: PT17M
Temperature: 375°F
Prepare Cream Cheese Frosting
While the roll bakes, combine 0.5 oz softened cream cheese, ½ tablespoon softened butter, and 1 tablespoon powdered sugar‑free sweetener in a small bowl. Mix with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Time: PT5M
Frost and Serve
Remove the cinnamon roll from the oven and let it cool in the ramekin for 2‑3 minutes. Spread the cream cheese frosting over the top using a spatula or fork. Serve warm.
Time: PT2M
