When you’re looking for something to make for breakfast, try this recipe for Keto Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls. They are gooey delicious and only 3 net carbs per serving!
I know this recipe seems like a long one but it is definitely worth it in the end. The preparation part is the hardest part but you could make the dough ahead the night before to save some time in the morning of making the cinnamon rolls. If you decide to make the dough the night before, put the dough in the fridge (not the freezer) and stop at that point. Then continue on with the steps the next day.
Can you cook cinnamon rolls in the air fryer?
Yes, you can. For this recipe I used the 6.5 quart Ninja Foodi air fryer to cook the keto cinnamon rolls in. Using an air fryer will cut down the cook time and will be done in about 8-10 minutes.
Keto Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls
Serves 10
Ingredients for the rolls
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 oz. cream cheese
1/4 tsp xanthan gum
1 cup almond flour
2 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp swerve confectioners sugar substitute
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
Ingredients for the filling
2 tbsp Butter melted
2 tbsp granulated sweetener
1 tsp cinnamon
Ingredients for the icing
2 oz. cream cheese
1 tbsp heavy whipping cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp swerve confectioners sugar substitute
Directions
In a microwave safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and 2 ounces of cream cheese. Heat for 30 second intervals until the cheese are completely melted and blended together.
Add the almond flour, xanthan gum, baking powder and 3 tablespoons Swerve confectioners sugar substitute to the cheese mixture, and knead well with your hands until completely combined. Add the vanilla extract and egg to the cheese mixture, and blend until a smooth dough has formed.
Place the dough into the freezer for a minimum of one hour to chill. This makes it easier to roll out. Roll the dough out thinly between two pieces of parchment paper. Brush the melted butter across the dough.
In a small bowl, combine two tablespoons of granulated sweetener and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the butter covered dough, and roll the dough tightly and carefully into a long log shape.
Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees. Slice the dough into 10 even round portions. Place the cinnamon rolls onto a parchment lined tray, and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.
Blend together the icing ingredients until smooth and creamy. Spread the icing over the top of each slightly cooled cinnamon roll before serving.
