We’ve been working hard on getting this recipe for you guys! We had zero issues testing over and over again though. Cinnamon rolls are truly the holy grail of the weekends.

Waking up with a fresh batch of these freshly divine treats are the perfect recipe to enjoy after a successful week on keto.

Keto Cinnamon Rolls 101

We personally despise any recipe that calls for yeast. It’s just something we don’t have the patience for and I believe there are others out there like me.

So we made it our goal to make these keto cinnamon rolls using the fathead dough. We had to make a few adjustments on the fathead dough for this recipe but more on that later.

What is fathead dough? This dough has become an absolute favorite of ours and within the keto community for good reason. IT IS AMAZING. We love it for pizzas especially.

We go into full details of fathead dough and all the things you can make with it here.

How to Make the Perfect Dough for Keto Cinnamon Rolls

What you’ll need: almond flour, shredded mozzarella, cream cheese, egg, salt, vanilla extract, baking powder and baking soda.

We found we had to tweak the fathead dough ratio a bit to get these right.

Rolling out the dough: We found that chilling the dough for 15minutes will help in rolling the dough out on parchment paper. Trim as you roll and patch, then keep rolling to get your desired rectangle.

Once you get it into the desired rolled out rectangle you want to chill the dough for another 15 minutes.

Baking your cinnamon rolls: We also found that these rolls require to be tightly packed together in order to stay in form. If you do not have a small enough round pan use your muffin tin!

HOW MANY NET CARBS IN OUR FATHEAD Cinnamon Rolls?

5 Net Carbs per cinnamon roll WITH icing. ÂWe sliced our dough into 8 cinnamon rolls. If you would like to make them smaller or larger you may just be aware that it will change your carb count.

    These look amazing!

    How long will they keep in the fridge? and do you think they would freeze well?

      We have stored leftovers in the refrigerator for a day but I can foresee these lasting a few more days. Since there is so much dairy in it (and cheese) I wouldn’t advise to freeze. Cheese tends to get a bit crumbly after it is defrosted. So texture wise the results might be a little interesting. The flavors will still be there though if you can tolerate the defrosting texture after. Hope this helps!

    Looks good can’t wait to make it. A couple of questions, how much vanilla extract and salt did you use in the dough? Thanks.
