    You'll love this popular easy keto cinnamon rolls recipe! Fathead cinnamon rolls are the ultimate sweet treat with only 2.1g carbs per roll.

    Fathead Cinnamon Rolls

    Keto cinnamon rolls may just very well be the best low-carb breakfast ever. They have warm spiciness from the cinnamon, a satisfying chewy dough with sweet and thick icing.

    Perfect for either breakfast, brunch and dessert (or anytime you're craving something sweet!)

    I love to enjoy them with a frosty keto frappuccino and one of the best things is that they're ready in just 40 minutes!

    Are Cinnamon Rolls Keto?

    Nobody would think of cinnamon rolls as being low in carbs! However, our fathead dough cinnamon rolls are made with an almond flour fathead dough.

    This cuts down on the carbs and each cinnamon roll has just over 2 net carbs with the frosting! The perfect keto dessert.

    How to Make Keto Cinnamon Rolls

    Take your blender or food processor and combine the almond flour, Erythritol, baking powder, eggs and vanilla extract. Use the pulse function until you get a smooth batter.

    creating the dough for keto cinnamon rolls

    Now it's time to melt the mozzarella. You have two options:

    1. You can either pop it in the microwave for about 60 seconds until it melts.
    2. You can make a DIY double boiler by simmering a few inches of water in a saucepan. Place a heat-proof bowl with the mozzarella on top of the saucepan until it melts.

    Next, add the melted mozzarella to the batter and stir until well mixed. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for an hour until firm.

    Preparing the dough for keto cinnamon rolls

    Once the batter has set, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the dough between two sheets of baking paper and roll with a rolling pin or tall glass. Aim for a rectangle shape approximately one-third of an inch thick.

    Rolling the fathead dough for keto cinnamon rolls

    Brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle it with Erythritol and cinnamon. Make sure it's covered evenly!

    While the rolls are baking it's time to make the glaze. Whisk together the Erythritol and heavy cream until you get a thick icing.
