Meal Prep Plan.

In a bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and vanilla. Add melted cheese mix and the egg. Knead together (it will be sticky but firm up).

2. Roll It Out

Place dough between two pieces of parchment paper. Roll into a rectangle (about 10×8 inches).

3. Add Filling

Brush with melted butter, then sprinkle cinnamon and sweetener evenly.

4. Roll & Slice

Roll the dough up tightly using the parchment to guide. Slice into 6–8 rolls. Place in a greased baking dish.

5. Bake

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18–22 minutes, until golden and set.

6. Ice Them

Mix cream cheese, butter, powdered sweetener, vanilla, and almond milk. Drizzle over warm rolls and serve.

  • Naturally gluten-free
  • Sweet without being overpowering
  • Loaded with cinnamon-spice flavor
  • Easy to prep ahead

They check all the boxes for keto with cream cheese recipes, low carb desserts with cream cheese, and even no carb sweets (or as close as it gets).


🧁 Low Carb Sweet Breakfast Ideas Done Right

Sick of eggs every morning? Same. These rolls are a perfect switch-up for:

🌯 Craving Keto Cinnamon Tortilla Roll Ups? Try This Instead

If you’ve tried the popular keto cinnamon tortilla roll ups, you already know how satisfying sweet, spiced flavors can be in keto form. These rolls offer the same vibe — but in a softer, puffier, baked form.

They’re basically the grown-up, bakery-worthy version of that snack — no tortillas required.

Want that low carb tortilla snacks feel? You can even roll these thinner and bake them into crispier pinwheels for a dippable, portable snack.


🧀 It’s Giving Baked Cheese Roll Ups Energy

The secret to this dough is mozzarella. Yes — these are like baked cheese roll ups in sweet form.

Why it works:

  • Mozzarella melts beautifully into almond flour
  • It gives the dough chew and structure
  • It keeps the rolls soft but never rubbery

You won’t taste the cheese — just the cinnamon, butter, and creamy glaze.


🕒 Make-Ahead and Keto 3 Ingredient Recipes Friendly

Want a shortcut or something even simpler?

  • Freeze the raw dough and slice when needed
  • Swap the filling with keto 3 ingredient recipes like almond butter + cinnamon + sweetener
  • Store glazed rolls in the fridge for 3–4 days and reheat easily

This recipe plays nicely with other quick keto tricks and will easily earn a spot in your good low carb snacks rotation.
