Method to Prepare:
- The low-carb cinnamon rolls recipe starts with making the rolls. For this, take a large bowl and add almond flour, coconut flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder. Mix all these ingredients well.
- Take another small bowl and whisk 2 eggs and vanilla extract in it.
- Now, take a microwave-safe bowl and add shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave these ingredients until they melt or for around 90 minutes. Make sure to stir them every 30 seconds.
- Now it’s time to add whisked eggs and this melted mixture of cheese into the bowl of the dry mixture. Knead everything properly until all ingredients combine well.
- Take a parchment paper and place it on your work surface. Then, pour the kneaded dough onto the paper. Take another parchment paper and place it over the dough and start rolling. You have to roll the dough until you get a rectangle of 16 inches and 10 inches.
- Brush this rectangle rolled dough with melted butter and do not forget to sprinkle low-carb brown sugar and grounded cinnamon over it.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Take 8 by 8 inches of the metal baking pan and place parchment paper on it. Make sure to brush the paper with butter.
- Now, roll the dough from the long end and make a log and keep it in a freezer for 10-15 minutes.
- After this, cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place all these rolls in the baking dish at some distance. Brush the top of the rolls with butter.
- You have to bake these rolls for nearly 25-30 minutes or until they turn golden. Once they are done, let them cool slightly.
- In the meanwhile, let’s make the icing by adding melted cream cheese in a bowl. Then, add heavy cream and granulated sugar and whisk them properly.
- Now, drizzle this icing over the cooked rolls and serve them.
