You will LOVE this maple cinnamon rolls recipe!
Maple cinnamon rolls are THE best breakfast food. Don't believe us? Let's check out the facts. Nothing says “Good morning” quite like the delicious aroma of the sweet scent of maple and cinnamon. It's the best combination of flavors to get your day started the right way!
Of course, we are focused on keeping the recipes low carb, so a few adjustments are necessary. Almond flour is the ideal way to create that cinnamon roll texture with fewer carbs. You'll also notice a few surprise ingredients such as mozzarella cheese and cream cheese! This helps the roll stay together and provides a layer of flavor that is out of this world!
If you have ever considered making “traditional” cinnamon rolls, you may have been surprised at how complex they are. you have to make a dough, wait for it to rise, roll out the cinnamon rolls, wait again.. it all seems complicated. Our recipe is so much easier and the result tastes better than any other cinnamon rolls you have ever tried. There is no yeast in our recipe but instead, the dough is made light and fluffy thanks to that cream cheese and almond flour mix. There is no waiting for the dough to rise, you can shape the rolls right away. These are so much faster than “traditional” cinnamon rolls and the maple syrup, cinnamony taste is out of this world.
The sugar-free maple syrup that is used to top the rolls is a healthier way to enjoy the flavors that you love. Not only do keto dieters benefit from this, but so does anybody else who is following a sugar-free diet. If you've never made homemade cinnamon rolls before, you may assume it's a complicated task. This is the furthest thing from the truth! All it takes is about 40 minutes to whip up the ingredients and let the oven do the rest of the work for you!
If you want to take these cinnamon rolls to the next level, make a low carb icing to spread over the tops. A cup of powdered erythritol and a splash of heavy cream whisked together make a perfect keto cinnamon roll icing. Add a small splash of vanilla to make the icing even more delicious. Spread the icing on the cinnamon rolls when they first come out of the oven and it will melt into the rolls right away, making a keto breakfast you won't be able to resist.
Who says you have to stand in a long line at the bakery for fresh cinnamon rolls? Now you can bake up your very own batch! Not only will you get to enjoy the deliciousness of such an amazing treat, but your home is sure to be filled with an incredible aroma. This is definitely a win!
