Ingredients

• 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened for easy mixing)
• 1 cup Almond Flour (coconut flour can be substituted, reduce amount)
• 1/4 cup Coconut Flour (best combined with almond flour for texture)
• 1 cup Erythritol (or keto sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit)
• 1 large Egg (binds the mixture)
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (pure extract recommended)
• 1 tsp Baking Powder (mixed evenly to avoid lumps)
• 1/2 tsp Salt (enhances flavor)
• 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon (optional: add nutmeg for extra depth)
• Additional Sweetener (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well blended and smooth.
2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk softened cream cheese, egg, and vanilla extract until creamy and free of lumps.
3. Step 3: Gradually fold dry ingredients into the cream cheese mixture. Mix until a cohesive dough forms. If sticky, let rest for 5-10 minutes.
4. Step 4: Place dough between two parchment sheets and roll out to about 1/4-inch thickness in a rectangle shape.
5. Step 5: Mix ground cinnamon with additional sweetener if desired. Spread evenly over the rolled dough.
6. Step 6: Using the parchment paper, carefully roll dough into a tight log. Slice into 1-inch pieces to form roll-ups.
7. Step 7: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Cook roll-ups cut-side down for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
8. Step 8: Let cool slightly. Dust with cinnamon and erythritol mixture before serving.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice to the cinnamon mixture.
• Coconut flour absorbs more moisture, so reduce its quantity if using alone to prevent dryness.
• Use parchment paper to easily roll and slice without sticking.
• Dust with powdered erythritol or your favorite keto-friendly sweetener to enhance appearance and taste.
• Serve with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup for added indulgence.

Storage

Store leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to restore crispness before serving. For longer storage, freeze portions in a sealed container and thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

FAQs

Can I use only almond flour instead of coconut flour?

Yes, you can use only almond flour, but the texture may be slightly different. Coconut flour helps absorb moisture and gives a better structure, so if you omit it, reduce the total flour amount slightly to avoid a too-dry dough.

What sweeteners are best for this recipe?

Erythritol works well due to its granulated texture and mild sweetness. You can also use stevia, monk fruit sweetener, or blends designed for baking. Adjust the amount according to sweetness preferences and the product used.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Dough Ingredients

• 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
• 1 cup Almond Flour
• 1/4 cup Coconut Flour
• 1 cup Erythritol
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp Salt

Filling and Topping

• 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
• Additional Sweetener (optional, for dusting, such as powdered erythritol)

Instructions

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt until well blended to form a smooth dough base.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, egg, and vanilla extract until creamy and lump-free for a smooth mixture.
3. Form Dough: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the cream cheese mixture, mixing continuously until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, let it rest for 5-10 minutes to firm up.
4. Roll Out Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and gently roll out to about 1/4-inch thickness, shaping it into a rectangle to ensure even filling coverage.
5. Prepare Cinnamon Filling: Combine ground cinnamon with additional sweetener if desired in a small bowl. Spread this cinnamon mixture evenly over the rolled dough surface.
6. Roll the Dough: Using the parchment paper to help, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log shape, ensuring the filling is sealed inside.
7. Slice Roll-Ups: Slice the rolled log into 1-inch thick pieces to form individual cinnamon cream cheese roll-ups.
8. Cook on Skillet: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Cook each roll-up cut-side down for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
9. Cool and Serve: Let the roll-ups cool slightly, then dust with a mixture of cinnamon and erythritol for extra flavor and a beautiful finish before serving.

Notes

• For a nuttier flavor, you can toast the almond flour lightly before mixing.
• Coconut flour absorbs more moisture, so adjust the quantity carefully if substituting almond flour entirely.
• Letting the dough rest helps reduce stickiness and improves handling.
• You can add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves for additional spice depth in the cinnamon mixture.
• Use pure vanilla extract for the best aroma and flavor.
• Cook roll-ups on medium heat to ensure they crisp up without burning.
• Dusting with powdered erythritol not only enhances sweetness but also adds visual appeal.
