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.

My versions were vegan so a hard deviation from recipe listed, but I don't expect many other people here are vegan pathed so omnivore recipe posted.

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.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
