Ingredients
  

CARAMEL TOPPING (this will make extra)

PROTEIN SPARING BREAD ROLLS:

FILLING:

  • 2 tablespoons butter softened
  • 2 tablespoons powdered allulose
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Before you begin to make the caramel topping, make sure you have everything ready to go - the cream and the butter next to the pan, ready to put in.
  • Heat butter on high heat in a saucepan. Whisk and let it come to a boil, watch for specks of brown (this is brown butter....so good on veggies!). Immediately add the Allulose and whisk until melted. Add the cream to the pan and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Whisk until caramel sauce is smooth.
  • Let cool in the pan for a couple minutes, and then pour into a glass mason jar and set in the fridge to cool while you make the caramel rolls. Store in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
  • To make the protein sparing bread rolls, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place a piece of parchment onto a large rimmed baking sheet. Spray parchment with Avocado oil spray and set aside.
  • Separate the eggs (save the yolks for another recipe like my keto ice cream, hollandaise, mayo or lemon curd), and place the whites into a large bowl or stand mixer. Add the allulose, salt and cream of tartar if using and whip the whites for a few minutes until VERY stiff.
  • Turn the mixer to low and gently mix the egg white protein powder into the whites. Do not over mix or the caramel rolls will end up like styrofoam.
  • Spread the protein sparing bread caramel roll mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until just cooked through (NOT browned at all).'
  • Remove pan from the oven and use a knife to spread with softened butter and sprinkle with allulose and cinnamon. Use a pizza cutter to cut into 6 strips (cutting from the longer end of the baking sheet). Roll each strip into a caramel roll. Set the rolls into a greased 9 inch pie pan.
  • Top a few tablespoons of the caramel onto each roll.
  • Place back into the oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool a bit before topping with more caramel if desired.
  • Store extras in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
