Ingredients


1 cup Almond milk, unsweetened (warm)
1 tbsp Yeast, active dry
2 tsp Honey (to activate the yeast)
1 1/4 cup Almond flour/meal, Bob's Red Mill
2/3 cup Oat flour ((or other gluten free flour blend))
1/4 cup Coconut flour
6 tbsp Swerve Sweetener, confectioners
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Xanthan gum
1/4 tsp Salt
1 large egg Egg white
1 tsp Vanilla extract, pure
1/4 cup Butter, unsalted (softened)
1/2 cup Butter, unsalted (softened)
171 gm brown sugar alternative
1 1/2 tbsp Cinnamon
1/2 cup Cream cheese
2 tbsp Butter, unsalted
1/2 cup Swerve Sweetener, confectioners
2 tsp Vanilla extract, pure
2 tbsp Almond milk, unsweetened

Instructions


  • Add the almond milk, yeast and honey to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.

  • In another large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, oat fiber, coconut flour, powdered sweetener, cinnamon, xantham gum and salt.

  • Once your yeast mixture from before is foamy, add it to the dry ingredients along with the eggs and vanilla extract.

  • Stir together until a thick dough begins to form. Once it becomes tough to stir with a spoon, use your hands to begin kneading the rest of the flour into the dough. (*See tips for the next few steps if you own a stand mixer*)

  • Once all of the flour is incorporated, continue to knead the dough for 2-3 more minutes on a lightly greased clean surface.

  • Move the dough back to the bowl and add 1/4 cup softened butter. Use your hands to work the butter into the dough until it's completely blended and the dough is cohesive. Then continue to knead for another 2-3 more minutes. Your dough should feel elastic and spring back slowly after you gently press a finger into it.

  • Form the dough into a rough ball and place it in a large greased bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap or a towel and set it somewhere warm to rise for 45min -1 hour or until doubled in size. (See my tips for where I find my dough rises best).

  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down, remove it from the bowl and place it on a lightly greased flat surface. Roll it out into a large rectangle. (I like to place a piece of lightly greased parchment paper on top of my dough to prevent the rolling pin from sticking while rolling).  


  • Next, make your filling by mixing together the softened butter, sukrin brown sweetener and cinnamon in a bowl. Spread this evenly over the entire rectangle of dough. You can also use your fingers to help spread the mixture.


  • Roll the dough up length-wise (short end to short-end).


  • Slice the roll into pieces by using a sawing action with a very sharp knife OR using dental floss for clean slices.


  • Place the rolls, cut-side up in a large greased dish. It's okay if they are touching/close together.


  • Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and set somewhere warm for another 30-40min. You can also pre-heat your oven to 325*F during this time.


  • While we wait for the rolls to rise, we can make the glaze. Beat together the cream cheese, butter, confectioner sweetener and vanilla extract until smooth. Add 1-2 tbsp almond milk and beat once for to thin the batter slightly. Set aside.


  • Once the cinnamon rolls have finished rising, remove the plastic wrap and bake in the pre-heated oven for 22-25min. They will be bubbly and still relatively soft when they are down (they will firm up a little at room temperature so we don't want to over-bake them).


  • Place the cinnamon rolls somewhere to cool and spread your frosting over them while still hot.


  • Cool until you can't wait anymore, then use a spatula to remove them and serve warm. LOL. Enjoy!
