Almond Flour Cinnamon Rolls – Low Carb and Gluten-Free

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

  1. Preheat oven to 325F and grease an 8-inch round cake pan with butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, Swerve, whey protein, baking powder, baking soda, salt and xanthan gum.

  3. Stir in eggs and butter until dough comes together. It will be quite sticky.
  4. Turn out dough onto a large piece of parchment, and then pat into a rough rectangle.
  5. Top with another piece of parchment and roll out to about 10x8 inches. Peel off top piece of parchment paper.
  6. Brush dough with melted butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar substitute and cinnamon, going almost right to edges.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. For the Frosting, beat all ingredients in a medium bowl and then pipe or spread onto warm rolls.

Vegan cinnamon rolls traditional (dozen) and mostly gluten free Vegan sugar free cinnamon rolls (three)




This is a recipe before and after comparison




I can easily make traditional baked goods but I want to step up my game and start trying more gluten free alternatives.




They taste nearly the same except the mostly gluten free version taste more like coconut flour one of the main ingredients. Very delightful.

This was my lunch but really was more like a late lunch snack because my Breakfast shake was later and so filling....

parm crips ( Whole Foods) dipped in mashed avocado. I bought a few convenience items that I can occasionally have if I don’t want to cook or want a huge meal. Plus my son and husband like the mashed avocado cups. These aren’t guacamole but similar and delicious.

No after - I had .75 ounces of crisp (about 4) and one container of avocado.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
