Growing up, we would always go to the bakery and order pastries, cinnamon rolls, and donuts for special occasions. Because we didn’t go often, I always wanted to get the biggest and most delicious cinnamon roll.
Now that I am an adult, I still have a love and desire for freshly baked cinnamon rolls. However, I wanted to try a fun and healthier twist by making them keto. If you eat low carb or are just wanting to cut back on refined sugars, these keto cinnamon rolls are what you have been looking for. They are positively delightful and the perfect way to start the day. Only, when you eat these cinnamon rolls, you don’t have to have a bunch of guilt!
WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE 30 MINUTE KETO CINNAMON ROLLS
For the Dough:
- Carbquik – In case you haven’t heard of Carbquik before, it’s a wonderful baking mix that is similar to Bisquick only without all the carbs! It’s a must when you are cooking low carb and will make your life so much easier!
- Water – When combined with the carb quick you will end up with a delightful dough that produces fluffy cinnamon rolls.
For the Filling:
- Butter – You will need to set out the butter ahead of time so it can soften for the best results. Or zap it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Just don’t let it melt and allow it to sit at room temperature before using it.
- Brown Swerve – You will get a delicious sweetness when you use brown swerve. It replicates brown sugar perfectly and will become your new favorite brown sugar substitute.
- Cinnamon – The star is the cinnamon, of course. It’s that perfect flavor that every good cinnamon roll needs.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
- Cream Cheese – You only need half of a block of cream cheese. Again, you will need to let it sit out to be room temperature before using it.
- Butter – The butter adds a wonderful flavor to the icing.
- Powdered Erythritol – Instead of regular refined powdered sugar, use powdered swerve instead. It’s the best keto powdered sugar I’ve tried. It isn’t grainy and it’s so yummy and with no after taste.
- Vanilla Extract – The cinnamon rolls need just a touch of vanilla. One teaspoon is just the perfect amount.
How To Make Keto Cinnamon Rolls
It’s hard to believe you can make homemade cinnamon rolls in just 30 minutes. Don’t lose this recipe, because you are going to want to make them again!
Start off by mixing together the water and carb quick in a bowl. Use a wooden spatula to combine until a dough ball forms.
Then place the dough onto a surface that is clean and has been dusted with carb quick. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes.
Allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes, then roll it out into a large rectangle. Spread the butter, brown swerve, and cinnamon on the dough. Roll it up lengthwise and cut into 9 cinnamon rolls. Place the rolls inside of a baking dish.
Cook the cinnamon rolls at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. Then take them out of the oven and let them cool for five minutes.
Prepare the icing by whisking the cream cheese, butter, swerve, and vanilla together. Once smooth and free of lumps, drizzle on top of the cinnamon rolls. Enjoy!
Cinnamon Roll Variations
We love everything about these cinnamon rolls just the way it’s written. But if you want to add in some extra pizzazz that’s more than fine! Here are a few ideas that might work well for you.
- Chocolate: use your favorite sugar-free chocolate and melt it. Then drizzle it on the cinnamon rolls in place of the icing. Or chop up pieces of chocolate and add it to the cinnamon roll rectangle before you roll it up.
- Nuts: Add pecans or walnuts to the cinnamon rolls before rolling them into a log. It’s a great way to add some crunch.
- Orange Juice: Add 1 tablespoon of fresh-squeezed orange juice to the icing. It’s a lovely way to make them gourmet style.
