This perfectly sweet sugar free cinnamon rolls recipe will change your life just like It changed mine.
Before I started with my keto diet, cinnamon rolls weren’t my thing. I mean, I liked them fine, but I wasn’t overly enthusiastic about them, if you know what I mean.
When I started with keto, it wasn’t just my lifestyle that changed- it was also my palate. It wasn’t like a complete do-over though.
Just a few additions to my feast-list. And one of those additions is this almond flour cinnamon roll!
When I began perfecting this treat, I justified it by convincing myself that I wasn’t just doing it for me (it started like that, though), but that I was also doing it for you guys, you guys motivate me every day.
Now that I have my blog up, I’ve challenged myself to make better desserts every single week!
And on that note, here’s a picture of this ultimately tasty, warm, fluffy, gooey, buttery, and perfectly sweetened goodness. Just looking at it makes me go all soft on the inside.
The Easiest Recipe Ever!
You may be thinking, nah, I’m gonna pass since it looks too complicated. Don’t. It’s easier than it appears and I even made a video to prove it! (My tiktok is: sweetketolife)
If you follow the steps I’ve outlined in the recipe card your sugar free cinnamon rolls will turn out perfect every time.
I admit, the fathead dough is a bit tricky (or sticky, to be more precise!) to handle. The secret is to handle it while it’s warm and always use a spatula.
I like popping it in the microwave through the mixing process until I add the eggs (which I do last for that same purpose)
Since we’re talking about sticky dough here, which is completely normal, by the way, don’t forget to use parchment paper when rolling it out.
Remember that your fathead dough for this almond flour cinnamon roll is different from the one you make for pizza and bagels since it’s going to be a little sweeter but it’s handled the same way.
The filling adds the extra sweetness needed to offset the mozzarella and cream cheese flavor.
When the mixing gets a bit too stiff and rough, don’t panic. It’s normal!

Sugar Free Cinnamon Roll Icing
A sugar free cinnamon roll is never complete without its sugar free cinnamon roll icing! How can we make even the icing keto, then? Easy.
Just substitute sugar with powdered monk fruit sweetener, almond milk, and whisk it with your cream cheese until you achieve that perfect consistency for drizzling.
Then, lightly drizzle the icing above your perfectly baked cinnamon rolls, and be perfectly content in your realization of the fact that you’ve made a perfect dessert. It wasn’t that difficult.
Can I store these for later?
The question is, can we store them for later, in case we get a hankering for a cinnamon roll in the middle of the night (I’m not saying this happens to me a lot, wink*), or we just crave for one suddenly while watching Netflix (not me, either!)? Well, yes, we can! We can store our sugar free cinnamon rolls in the fridge for up to a week.
This dessert is perfect with a cup of coffee or a warm glass of milk or tea. Serve it hot and watch your friends devour the whole batch if you don’t hide a couple for yourself!
You can never go wrong with these almond flour cinnamon rolls. I served it to my family and they were gone in minutes, nobody could believe they were keto!
The sugar free cinnamon roll icing is a total bonus to these already perfect rolls.
