Prep Time

Prep Notes

Who doesn’t love an ooey gooey cinnamon roll? But the conventional kind are insanely carb-heavy. And the homemade keto variety, which is usually made with mozzarella dough, take quite a bit of effort to make.

Ingredients

Cinnamon Filling:

  • 3 tablespoon granulated sweetener (erythritol or allulose)
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cake:

  • 3 cups almond flour
  • ½ cup erythritol sweetener
  • ¼ cup unflavoured whey protein powder
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup butter melted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup almond milk or water
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 1 ½ ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoon powdered sweetener (erythritol or allulose)
  • 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Cake

  • Combine the Swerve and cinnamon in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 325ºF and grease an 9×9 inch baking pan.
  • Whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, protein powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in the eggs, melted butter and vanilla extract. Add the almond milk and continue to stir until well combined. 
  • Spread half of the batter in the prepared pan, then sprinkle with about two thirds of the cinnamon filling mixture. Spread the remaining batter over top and smooth with a knife or an offset spatula.
  • Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and just firm to the touch. Remove from the oven.
  • Brush with the melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon filling mixture. Let cool completely in the pan.

Frosting

  • In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sweetener, cream, and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
  • Pipe or drizzle over cooled cake.
