Ooey Gooey Keto Cinnamon Rolls

A rainy day inspired me to try to make these delicious bundles of goodness. I think you will like them as well as your family. Also, if you have all the ingredients for this recipe you should also check out our Cinnamon Sugar Bites and Sweet Keto Bagels as well.
The dough was simple to make but a little finicky to work with (don’t worry it’s worth it and a little parchment paper is the key).
It was soft and sweet enough for me even without icing (don’t riot, I am not taking away your icing, haha).
INGREDIENTS:
Dough
3 1/2 cups – shredded mozzarella cheese
1 1/2 cups – almond flour
4 tbsp – cream cheese, softened
2 lg – eggs
1 tsp – baking powder
1 tsp – organic vanilla extract
1/2 cup – swerve sweetener, granulated
Filling
1/2 cup – swerve sweetener, granulated
1/2 cup – softened butter
1 1/2 tbsp – ground cinnamon
Icing
4 tbsp – cream cheese, softened
1 tsp – organic vanilla extract
1/2 cup – swerve sweetener, confectioners
DIRECTIONS:
– Add mozzarella to a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 sec – 1 minute, remove and stir. It should melt to resemble a ball of dough.
– Add remaining ingredients & stir well. Replace into microwave for additional 30 seconds to allow them to melt together.
– Remove dough and place onto parchment paper. Top with an additional sheet of parchment paper and roll out. Make sure not to roll it too thin – you don’t want any holes.
– In a separate bowl, mix together butter, sweetener, and cinnamon. Spread on top of the dough evenly.
– Next you will roll the dough (here is where it may feel tricky) it’s going to be a bit sticky so use the parchment paper to assist you.
– Lift one end of the parchment paper slightly to allow the dough to roll over itself, lay it back flat and then roll it again, repeat this until you’ve formed a large roll.
– Use a very sharp knife (I use a ceramic knife because they cut smooth and never dull) and cut into 10-12 even sized rolls.
– Place the rolls into a baking dish lined with parchment paper & place into the oven at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes. This may vary from oven to oven (of course, so make sure to watch them).
– Remove them from the oven once they begin to brown & set them aside to cool for 5-10 minutes.
– Drizzle glaze over cooled rolls and serve warm!
** these heat up very well!
** I placed them into an airtight container and stored them in the fridge.
** if you chill the dough after you’ve topped it you can cut it into strips and then roll those up and place them into the pan. They fluff up better.

This Sounds Amazing.. Would Love a Print Friendly Version! And Nutrition
After 7 months stilll no nutrition info?
I wish when keto recipes are put on Pinterest or any where else that the break down of carbs and calories , fat are written down. If not the person has to put the whole recipe in their program to see if it’s worth making (carbs)
Nutritional value?
There are a lot of carbs in this for keto
At first glance it looks like alot of carbs and would be if you are eating them all at once, but I did a quick research and calculation of the carbs and they actually come out to very low carbs per roll, at 12 rolls.
Please include the nutritional facts – I want to make these.

They’re fantastic! Thanks for the recipe. I didn’t make the icing and they were sweet enough for me!
Michelle,
It makes me so happy to hear how much you enjoyed them. Thank you for sharing with me.
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this delicious recipe!
Just made these for breakfast. Followed the directions exactly. They spread out to fill the pan, so they were very flat. They tasted good. My husband gave them a?? up.
I have made these Keto cinnamon rolls twice now and have followed instructions exactly as written. I’m wondering if anyone else had trouble with the dough when in the oven melting rather than rising? They are still amazing!
Yes! This happened to me as well and I’m also trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong.
Can I just use confectioners instead of granular swerve?
Making these this morning! Thank you for taking the time to make and share the recipe for those of us who just need something simple and don’t have time to do it ourselves 🙂
And just want to say to everyone complaining about nutritional values – try being a little more considerate! I am sure 99% of you have no idea just how much work goes into making ONE recipe and then how hard it is to share with the world, only for people to be so rude.
Mine got flat and there was melted butter all inside the pan…what did I do wrong!?
I was able to cut 12 with my roll. I used a glass baking dish with parchment paper lining it. I placed 9 rolls inside but with space between them to give them room to “grow” should I not have done that? I’ve never even made regular cinnamon rolls before lol!
Just wanted to say thank YOU!! These are sooo delicious & rich, just like the ones at the mall!!! I also added chopped pecans 😊
I have made them twice, first on baking sheet and second time on muffin top pan. I will try sending a photo. They turned out well and very yummy both times. Thank you for explaining the process so well.
Hi, wanting to make these for Christmas morning but want to make ahead of time on the 23rd, do you think they will hold up well if we refrigerate the rolls for 2 days and bake them Christmas morning?
[…] found a winner with Ooey Gooey Keto Cinnamon Rolls from Ketocracy.com. To be honest, I was hesitant to try this recipe because the dough is a modified […]
Although I followed the recipe exactly, the cinnamon rolls turned out like flat pancakes. What could have caused that?
Yes Jessica, I’ve had the same problem. I can’t get them “fluffy”
I’m new to keto and am searching for recipes to make. This looks really good and my hubby has a huge sweet tooth – me, not so much. I plan to make these soon but wanted to thank you for posting this recipe. I agree wholeheartedly with Renee Kemper’s comments. I’ve developed recipes in the past and know how much work and time goes into testing and retesting, so everyone here owes you a bog, fat THANK YOU!
I never understand the need to someone to be so rude… if you want nutrition facts enter the ingredients yourself. Btw these were delicious! My husband is a diabetic and we appreciate any recipes that have been tweaked so he can enjoy treats again! Thank you for sharing!
These are the absolute best!!! My hubby is obsessed. Just a little tip, I froze the rolled up “log” for about 30 minutes. This made the rolls cut nicely and made my rolls puff up rather than melt as some comments indicated.

My husband and I are crazy about these things! It was our special treat when we did keto before our wedding. We just finished our first full week of keto in a couple of years and these are our reward. Thank you for sharing this one!
Yum Yum Yum!!!!!
