Ingredients
  

DOUGH:

  • 1 1/2 cup blanched almond flour 5 oz (or 1/2 cup coconut flour or 2.5 oz)
  • 5 tablespoons psyllium husk powder no substitutes (45 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoons Redmond Real salt
  • 1 cup Natural Sweetener or erythritol and 1 tsp stevia glycerite
  • 3 large egg whites 8 whites if using coconut flour
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1 oz
  • 1 cup BOILING water 7 oz

FILLING:

  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons Natural Sweetener or erythritol

FROSTING:

  • 6 tablespoons cream cheese softened (or coconut cream if dairy allergy)
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil or butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons Natural Sweetener or erythritol and 1/4 tsp stevia glycerite
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk to thin it out, if desired

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium sized bowl, combine the flour, psyllium powder (no substitutes: flaxseed meal won't work and I do not recommend it), baking powder, salt and Swerve. Add in the eggs and vinegar and combine until a thick dough. Add boiling water into the bowl. Mix until well combined. When you add the water the dough will be very sticky but after mixing for a couple minutes it will firm up.
  • Grease a large piece of parchment with coconut oil spray and spread the dough out into a large rectangle pressing with your fingers. You can spray some more spray on top of the dough to help keep it from sticking to your fingers. Sprinkle cinnamon and Swerve onto the rolled out rectangle. Press the cinnamon mixture into the dough with your hands. Starting at one edge of the rectangle, roll up tightly until you have a cylinder Cut into 6 - 2 inch rolls. Place onto a cookie sheet or into a cast iron skillet (click HERE to find the one I used) and bake for 45-55 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the frosting. Place all ingredients into a medium sized bowl and combine until smooth. Store in fridge (it will thicken overnight). Spread over cinnamon rolls. Makes 6 servings.
