• Read instructions and notes fully before getting started. Have all of your ingredients measured out in advance and have your silicone mat or parchment paper ready for rolling out the dough. Once the leavening ingredients (baking powder and baking soda) are added to the dough, you want to work fast to get the keto cinnamon rolls rolled out and into the oven.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Spray an 8x8” cake pan with non-stick baking spray. Set aside for now.

Filling

• In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar substitute, butter, and cinnamon. Mix on high speed with an electric mixer until well combined. Set aside for now.

Cinnamon Rolls

• In a large bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese.
• Place the bowl of cheeses into the microwave and heat on high for 1 minute. Remove from microwave and stir. If the cheese isn’t completely melted, heat for an additional 30 seconds, then stir again.
• Let the melted cheese cool a bit (this is important so the eggs don’t cook into the melted cheese when added). Let the cheese cool for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add eggs, baking powder, xanthan gum, baking soda, and lastly, add apple cider vinegar. Beat on high speed until well combined. The mixture will look lumpy (broken up melted cheese), but that’s okay.
• Add the coconut flour and mix gently on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
• On a silicone mat or a sheet of parchment paper, gently spray a little non-stick baking spray on the work surface and on your clean hands, and knead the dough a bit (into a ball) then use a rolling pin (sprayed lightly with non-stick baking spray) to roll the dough out to a rectangle shape 12” long and 10” high. The dough will be about ¼” thick.
• Spread the cinnamon mixture filling evenly over the dough, leaving about a ½” space at the top of the rectangle so it doesn’t spill over once rolled up.
• With lightly greased hands, roll the dough up to create one long cinnamon roll (lengthwise this will be 12” long). If the dough starts to crack when rolling it up (common with this type of dough), use hands sprayed lightly with non-stick baking spray to gently pinch broken pieces back together.
• Use a sharp knife to cut the cinnamon roll log into 9 rolls. With a 12” roll, each roll should be about 1.3”.
• Place cinnamon rolls into the prepared cake pan.
• Place in oven and bake for 5 minutes at 400°F. Without opening the oven door, reduce the heat to 350°F and bake for an additional 12 minutes. Cinnamon rolls are done when outside edges start to look very lightly toasted (dough still soft but with a slightly firmer bite on the outside – think lightly toasted bread).

Frosting (optional)

• Combine cream cheese, icing sugar substitute, butter and vanilla extract and beat on medium speed until fully combined.
• Spread desired amount over cinnamon rolls.
