Keto Cinnamon Rolls
These pillowy keto cinnamon rolls deliver all the comfort of traditional pastries without the heavy carbs. Each buttery swirl wraps you in warm spices and sweet nostalgia, crowned with a velvety cream cheese frosting that melts perfectly into every fold!
Variations & Substitutions
You can swap almond flour for Carbquik if you prefer a more traditional texture. For dairy-free folks, coconut cream can replace cream cheese, though the texture will be slightly different.
Sometimes I add a touch of maple extract to the frosting for extra flavor depth, or sprinkle chopped pecans in the filling for a delightful crunch.
Tips & Tricks for Perfect Results
Always use room temperature eggs and cream cheese – it makes a world of difference in the dough texture. When rolling the dough, use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Don’t skip the resting time; it helps the dough become more manageable. I’ve learned that cutting the rolls with dental floss instead of a knife gives you cleaner slices without squishing the rolls.
Making the Recipe Stand Out
Adding a pinch of salt to the frosting enhances all the flavors. For an extra special touch, I sometimes brown the butter for the filling, which adds a gorgeous nutty flavor that makes everyone ask for the recipe.
Storage & Reheating
These beauties stay fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. I love that I can freeze them for up to three months as well.
When I’m ready to enjoy them, I either pop them in the microwave for a quick warm-up or reheat them in the oven at 325°F until they’re warm and gooey. For the best texture, I always let them come to room temperature before reheating.
