You can prepare this in advance and have it for breakfast it will help boost up your energy as you start your busy day ahead.
Aside from the almond flour, it also uses an essential ingredient perfect for people who are on a Keto diet. It uses a low-calorie sweetener, Erythritol; which is 6% lower than regular sugar. It is a good sugar substitute for this recipe.
Gluten-free people can also enjoy this roll not just because it uses almond flour; this recipe also uses xanthan gum, a special binding agent that helps keep the oil and water in the dough from separating. Its function is the same as that of gelatin, the only difference is xanthan gum is considered to be a vegan while gelatin comes from animal sources.
It uses mozzarella cheese and cream cheese as a substitute for milk. All you need to do is to heat up both cheese in the microwave for a minute with an interval of 30 seconds until they are totally dissolved and can be mixed. Then add in the dry ingredients and mixed to form the dough. You can put it back in the microwave for another 10 seconds just to loosen up the mixture and for easier processing. Then mix the wet ingredients until well combined.

A regular dough requires a certain amount of time to have it rise, then another 30 minutes is needed prior to baking. This recipe, however, won’t require any rising. This can be baked immediately once cut and placed on a baking dish or pan. The cream topping can be done while the roll is in the oven. Just simply add up cream cheese, Erythritol and whipping cream.

I made these and while they are tasty, mine did not rise very much at all. What am I doing wrong? I checked my ingredients and they are not expired.
Tiffany says
I made these and they came out looking almost exactly like your picture! Thank you so much for this recipe. I couldn’t believe how close this is to eating a cinnabon! Tip – definitely reheat for 10 seconds in the microwave once they cool or the texture will be a little off.
