Gather Your Ingredients for Keto Cinnamon Roll Ups

Alright, let’s get our kitchen prepped for these yummy delights! You don’t need anything too fancy, just a few key players to make these keto cinnamon roll ups sing. Make sure your cream cheese is nice and softened – it makes all the difference for a smooth batter. Oh, and grab your favorite sweetener; I’m using powdered erythritol here because it dissolves so beautifully, but you do you!

  • 8 oz cream cheese, make sure it’s nice and soft!
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon for the filling
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon for the topping
  • 2 tbsp erythritol for the topping

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Cream Cheese Roll Ups

Alright, friend, let’s get these delicious keto cinnamon cream cheese roll ups made! It’s honestly a breeze, and before you know it, you’ll have a perfect sweet treat. We’re going to walk through it together, step by step. Think of it like creating a little slice of joy, just like finding good keto meal plan delivery alternatives can feel. It’s all about making life a little sweeter, the keto way!

Preparing the Cream Cheese Filling

First things first, grab a medium bowl. Drop in your softened cream cheese, then add that powdered erythritol, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a splash of vanilla extract. Now, just beat it all together until it’s wonderfully smooth and creamy. No lumps allowed!

Creating the Keto Batter

In a separate bowl, let’s whisk up the main part of our base. Crack in those four large eggs, then add your almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and the salt. Give that a good whisk. Once it’s all combined, gently stir in that dreamy cream cheese mixture until everything is just perfectly blended. Easy peasy!

Baking and Cinnamon Butter Layer

Now, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper – this is key for easy cleanup! Pour your batter onto the sheet and spread it out into a nice, thin, even layer. Pop it in the oven for about 10-12 minutes. While that’s baking, quickly mix your melted butter with the remaining 2 tablespoons of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of erythritol. Once the base is out and still warm, brush that cinnamon-butter mixture all over the top. It should be a lovely golden color.

Rolling and Slicing Your Keto Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll Ups

This is the fun part! While the base is still warm (but not scalding hot – be careful!), carefully and gently roll it up like a jelly roll. Let it cool for just a few minutes so it holds its shape, then slice it into about 1-inch thick roll-ups. You’ve done it!

Tips for the Crispiest Keto Treat

Okay, so everyone loves a good roll-up, but what really takes these keto cinnamon treats over the top is getting that perfect, slightly crisp texture. From my kitchen to yours, here are a few little tricks I’ve picked up. Make sure your cream cheese is really soft – it helps the batter spread evenly, which means it bakes up uniformly. If you’re looking for extra crunch, try baking it for just two or three minutes longer after the initial bake, right before you add the cinnamon butter. Just watch it like a hawk so it doesn’t burn! And honestly, not fussing too much with overmixing the batter is key; we want tender, not tough.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

I love talking about ingredients because they really make a recipe sing! For these keto cinnamon cream cheese roll ups, the quality of your ingredients makes a difference. If you can’t find powdered erythritol, any finely ground keto-friendly sweetener should work great – just make sure it’s powdered so it blends in smoothly. Almond flour and coconut flour are a dynamic keto duo, giving us that lovely texture without the carbs. Sometimes I think about how I used to be intimidated by ingredients, but exploring them, like learning more on the About page, really changes things!

Serving Suggestions for Your Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll Ups

These little beauties are so versatile! Honestly, I love them any time of day. They’re fantastic as a quick breakfast bite with your morning coffee, maybe even a little snack after lunch if you need a sweet boost. They also totally fit the bill as a light, satisfying dessert. For a real treat, try them alongside a nice cup of tea or a sugar-free latte. They’re just so good, and so easy to pair with almost anything! They make a great addition to any breakfast spread, just like this breakfast casserole!

Storage and Reheating Instructions

Got leftovers? Lucky you! These keto cinnamon cream cheese roll ups are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll keep well for about 3-4 days. When you’re ready for another bite, you can enjoy them cold, or if you want to warm them up a touch, a few seconds in the microwave or a quick toast in a toaster oven works wonders to bring back that delightful texture. Just be careful not to overheat them!

Frequently Asked Questions about Keto Cinnamon Roll Ups

Got questions about these little cinnamon delights? I’ve got you covered! It’s always good to know the ins and outs of a recipe, especially when you’re sticking to a keto lifestyle.

Can I make these keto cinnamon cream cheese roll ups ahead of time?

You absolutely can! They’re pretty great for making ahead. Just be sure to store them in an airtight container in the fridge. For the best texture, I’d say enjoy them within 3-4 days. They’re perfect for meal prep!

What sweetener can I use instead of erythritol?

No erythritol? No problem! You can totally use other keto-friendly sweeteners like xylitol (just be careful if you have pets, it’s toxic to them!), monk fruit, or a blend. Just make sure it’s powdered or very finely granulated so it mixes in smoothly with the cream cheese and doesn’t make your roll ups gritty.

Are these truly sugar-free?

Yes! The beauty of these sugar free dessert options is that we’re using keto-approved sweeteners instead of regular sugar. So, you get all that delicious cinnamon-swirl flavor without the sugar spike, making them perfect for your low carb diet.

How do I ensure they are crispy?

For that little bit of extra crispiness, a couple of things help! Make sure you spread the batter nice and thin on the baking sheet. And, like I mentioned in the tips, baking for an extra 2-3 minutes right before you brush on the cinnamon butter can really help achieve that delightful crunch. Keep an eye on them, though!

Nutritional Information (Estimated)

Just a heads-up, like with most homemade treats, these numbers are estimates!
