nt0309 got a reaction from Hop_Scotch in To tell or not to tellI told everyone and also had my parents tell my immediate family (I don't live in the same state as then but I visit often). I wanted everyone to know because I'm a very open type of person, but I also know how my family is and they can be very gossipy and/or start assuming things (like I'm sick hence the weight loss), so I decided from the beginning that I wanted everyone to know. It hasn't been a secret to family and friends that I've been overweight my whole life, and I knew having this surgery would make the difference, in the sense that I finally got the weight off, so I knew I'd eventually get asked what made the difference this time, and I didn't want to make it seem like I was hiding something.
Good luck!

Tender, moist, and perfectly cinnamon-y with a biscuit-like texture, these cinnamon rolls are a sweet keto treat!
Course Breakfast Cuisine Breakfast Prep Time 25 minutes Cook Time 20 minutes Total Time 45 minutes Servings 8 cinnamon rolls Ingredients
Dough:
2 cups almond flour 3 tbsp granular Swerve Sweetener or other granulated erythritol 3 tbsp unflavored whey protein powder 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp xanthan gum 2 large eggs lightly beaten 1/4 cup butter melted Filling:
1 tbsp butter melted 2 tbsp brown sugar substitute I used Ideal 1 tsp cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing
2 oz cream cheese softened 1 tbsp powdered Swerve Sweetener or other powdered erythritol 1 tbsp heavy cream 1/4 tsp vanilla extract Instructions
Preheat oven to 325F and grease an 8-inch round cake pan with butter. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, Swerve, whey protein, baking powder, baking soda, salt and xanthan gum.
Stir in eggs and butter until dough comes together. It will be quite sticky. Turn out dough onto a large piece of parchment, and then pat into a rough rectangle. Top with another piece of parchment and roll out to about 10x8 inches. Peel off top piece of parchment paper. Brush dough with melted butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar substitute and cinnamon, going almost right to edges. Starting with the far, longer edge of your dough, gently lift away from the parchment and roll up tightly towards you. Pinch the seam to seal. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut into 8 equal portions. Place in prepared cake pan, just barely touching each other, and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until just golden brown. Remove and let cool 10 minutes. For the Frosting, beat all ingredients in a medium bowl and then pipe or spread onto warm rolls. Recipe Notes
