Prep: 8 min | Cook: 1 min | Total: 14 min

Cost: $2.15 total, $1.08 per serving

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Butter (softened, then melted)
  • 1 large Egg (room temperature)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (pure vanilla)
  • 4 tablespoons Almond Flour (sifted for a smooth batter)
  • 2 tablespoons Erythritol (or any low‑carb sweetener of choice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder (ensure it is fresh for proper rise)
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (plus extra for swirl)
  • 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar Sweetener (for the cinnamon swirl; same sweetener as batter)
  • 2 ounces Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 1 tablespoon Almond Milk (unsweetened)

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter

    Place the softened butter in the microwave‑safe ramekin and microwave for about 15 seconds until fully melted.

    Time: PT15S

  2. Combine Wet Ingredients

    Add the egg and vanilla extract to the melted butter. Whisk with a fork until the mixture is smooth and the egg is fully incorporated.

    Time: PT1M

  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients

    Stir in the almond flour, erythritol (or chosen sweetener), baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Mix until a uniform batter forms with no lumps.

    Time: PT2M

  4. Prepare Ramekin and Swirl

    Lightly oil the ramekin with a few drops of butter. Pour the batter in, then sprinkle the extra cinnamon and brown‑sugar sweetener on top. Use a knife or spatula to create a gentle swirl.

    Time: PT1M

  5. Microwave

    Microwave on high for 1 minute. Check after 45 seconds; if the center is still very wet, add 10‑15 seconds more. The roll should be set and have risen.

    Time: PT1M

  6. Prepare Frosting

    In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of erythritol (or preferred sweetener), and almond milk. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

    Time: PT2M

  7. Frost

    Drizzle or spread the cream cheese frosting over the warm cinnamon roll. Serve immediately.

    Time: PT30S
