Crispy Keto Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups Recipe

Introduction

These Crispy Keto Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll Ups are a delightful low-carb treat perfect for breakfast or a snack. They combine creamy filling with a crunchy, cinnamon-spiced exterior, making them a satisfying option for anyone following a keto lifestyle.

Ingredients

• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/4 cup erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• Cooking spray or additional butter for greasing
• Optional: additional cinnamon and sweetener for dusting

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to eliminate any lumps.
2. Step 2: In another bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3. Step 3: Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until you have a cohesive dough. If it feels too sticky, allow it to sit for a few minutes to firm up.
4. Step 4: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out gently to about 1/4-inch thickness, trying to achieve a rectangle shape.
5. Step 5: In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and additional erythritol. Spread the mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
6. Step 6: Starting from one end, carefully lift the parchment paper to help roll the dough into a tight log. Remove the parchment paper as you roll.
7. Step 7: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into 1-inch pieces, creating your roll-ups.
8. Step 8: Preheat a skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray or melt a little butter. Place the roll-ups cut side down in the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
9. Step 9: Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Dust with a mixture of cinnamon and erythritol if desired before serving.

Tips & Variations

• For a richer flavor, use butter instead of cooking spray when frying the roll-ups.
• You can substitute erythritol with another keto-friendly sweetener such as monk fruit or stevia, adjusting to taste.
• If the dough feels too sticky to roll, chilling it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes can help.
• Try adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips to the cinnamon filling for extra texture and flavor.

Storage

Store any leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them gently in a skillet or microwave until heated through and crispy again. For longer storage, you can freeze the cooked roll-ups for up to one month; thaw before reheating.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make these roll-ups dairy-free?

You can try substituting the cream cheese with a dairy-free cream cheese alternative, but the texture may vary slightly. Choose a firm, spreadable version for best results.

What if I don’t have coconut flour?

Coconut flour is important for the texture of this recipe due to its absorbency. If unavailable, you can try increasing almond flour slightly, but the dough consistency and final result may differ.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Dough Ingredients

• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/4 cup erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Additional erythritol for dusting (optional)

Cooking

• Cooking spray or additional butter for greasing the skillet

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to remove any lumps ensuring a smooth dry mixture.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. Mix Together: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet cream cheese mixture, stirring continuously until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough is sticky, let it rest for a few minutes to firm up for easier handling.
4. Roll Out the Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out gently to about 1/4-inch thickness, forming a rectangle shape for even rolling.
5. Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, mix together ground cinnamon with additional erythritol. Evenly spread this cinnamon-sweetener mixture over the rolled-out dough.
6. Roll the Dough: Starting from one edge, carefully lift the parchment paper to roll the dough into a tight log, making sure to peel away the parchment paper as you roll to prevent sticking.
7. Slice the Roll: Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled dough into 1-inch thick pieces, creating individual roll-ups.
8. Cook the Rolls: Heat a skillet over medium heat and grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter. Place the roll-ups cut side down in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
9. Serve: Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Optionally, dust them with a mixture of cinnamon and erythritol before serving for extra sweetness and flavor.

Notes

• Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
• Adjust the sweetness by modifying erythritol to your taste preference.
• Letting the dough rest helps reduce stickiness and makes rolling easier.
• Use a sharp knife to get clean slices for neat roll-ups.
• Cook on medium heat to ensure the inside cooks through without burning the outside.
• These roll-ups can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
