Key Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these delicious keto cinnamon roll ups:

• Mozzarella Cheese: The base for the low-carb dough; creates structure and elasticity.
• Cream Cheese: Adds smoothness and richness to the dough.
• Almond Flour: Keeps the dough light and low in carbs.
• Cinnamon: The star spice that gives these roll ups their warm, cozy flavor.
• Butter: For that classic cinnamon-sugar filling and buttery taste.
• Erythritol or Monk Fruit Sweetener: Adds sweetness without the carbs or sugar spikes.
• Vanilla Extract: Enhances the flavor and aroma.
• Egg: Helps the dough bind and stay soft.
• Optional Glaze: Powdered sweetener, cream cheese, and almond milk for drizzling.

Step-by-Step

Follow these easy steps to make perfect keto cinnamon roll ups every time.

1. Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Make the Dough:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, and heat again for 30 seconds until smooth and melted.

Add almond flour, one egg, and a dash of vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms. If it’s sticky, chill for 5–10 minutes.

3. Prepare the Filling:
In a small bowl, mix softened butter, erythritol, and cinnamon until creamy.

4. Assemble the Roll Ups:
Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle (about ¼ inch thick). Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.

Gently roll the dough lengthwise into a log. Slice into 6–8 pieces.

5. Bake:
Arrange the rolls on the baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.

6. Glaze (Optional):
Whisk together 2 tablespoons powdered sweetener, 1 tablespoon cream cheese, and 1 teaspoon almond milk. Drizzle over warm roll ups and serve.

You Must Try These Variations

Once you’ve mastered these keto cinnamon roll ups, try these fun twists:

• Pecan Cinnamon Roll Ups: Add chopped pecans to the filling for crunch.
• Cream Cheese Filled Roll Ups: Spread extra cream cheese inside before rolling for a gooey center.
• Chocolate Roll Ups: Replace cinnamon with cocoa powder for a low-carb chocolate version.
• Pumpkin Spice Rolls: Add a teaspoon of pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice for a fall twist.
• Savory Version: Skip the sweetener and fill with cheese and herbs for a keto breakfast roll.

Pro Tips

1. Use Fresh Mozzarella: Pre-shredded cheese can be too dry — melt fresh for the best texture.
2. Chill the Dough: If it’s too sticky, pop it in the fridge for 10 minutes before rolling.
3. Roll Gently: The dough is soft — use parchment paper to guide the roll.
4. Don’t Overbake: Bake just until golden for soft, chewy roll ups.
5. Add Glaze While Warm: It melts slightly, coating each roll beautifully.
