Equipment

Ingredients

DOUGH

• 1/4 CUP melted butter I use Kerry Gold unsalted
• 2 eggs – lightly beaten
• 1/2 TSP xanthan gum
• 1/2 TSP salt
• 1 TSP baking soda
• 2 TSP baking powder
• 3 TBSP granulated erythritol I use Anthony's
• 2 CUPS almond flour I use Kirklands

CINNAMON FILLING

• 1 TBSP melted butter I use Kerry Gold unsalted
• 2 TBSP brown sugar substitute I use JUST LIKE SUGAR BROWN
• 3 TSP cinnamon or more if you prefer

CREAM CHEESE ICING

• 2 OZ softened cream cheese
• 2 TBSP powdered erythritol I use Anthony's
• 1 TBSP heavy cream
• 1/4 TSP vanilla extract
• 1 TSP almond milk to make icing thinner if needed

Instructions

DOUGH

• Preheat oven to 325F and grease an 8 inch round cake pan with butter.

  Whisk together almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, salt and xanthan gum into large bowl.

  Add in the eggs and butter to form sticky dough.

  Place dough on a sheet of parchment paper and top with another piece of parchment paper. Roll out a rectangle shape about 10X8. Peel off top paper.
  

CINNAMON FILLING and ROLL IT UP

• Brush dough with melted butter. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon…use hands to spread it to the edges. Drip more melted butter to "wet" the mixture. This will be messy and fun.

  Lift edge of parchment paper to start the roll. Roll the short edge. Press to seal.

  Cut into 1 inch portions. 8 pieces. Use sharp knife. Place into the prepared pan.
  

BAKE

• Bake for 20 minutes or until edges are brown. Let cool before icing.

CREAM CHEESE ICING
