Ingredients
Dough:
- 60 grams coconut flour about 1/2 cup
- 1/4 cup low carb sweetener
- 2 tablespoon baking powder can be cut in half to reduce sodium but may not rise as well
- 250 grams mozzarella cheese shredded about 2-1/2 cups
- 55 grams cream cheese 2 ounces
- 3 large eggs beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter melted, add a bit more if needed and use unsalted to reduce sodium
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Filling:
- 1/4 cup brown low carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons butter softened (can be omitted but gives a better filling taste)
Icing:
- 3 ounces cream cheese softened
- 3 tablespoons butter softened
- 1/4 cup low carb powdered sweetener
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- low carb almond or coconut milk if needed
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and grease a 9×13-inch pan baking pan if needed.
- Mix coconut flour, low carb sweetener, and baking powder in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Melt mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in microwave on high power for one minute. Stir.
- Place back in microwave on high for another minute. Stir.
- Add in beaten eggs, butter, vanilla extract (if using), and coconut flour mixture until a dough is formed. Dough should be a bit wet and sticky. If dry, try adding in another egg or more butter.
- Roll dough out into a rectangle about 9×12 inches.
- In small bowl, combine the brown low carb sweetener with cinnamon.
- Spread butter evenly over the dough then sprinkle the cinnamon mix on top.
- Roll dough into a log starting at one of the shorter ends. Slice into 1-inch thick rounds.
- Rounds into prepared baking pan. Bake at 400°F for about 14-16 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack.
- In a medium mixing bowl, cream the cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer.
- Beat in the powdered sweetener and vanilla extract. Add in a little low carb milk (coconut or almond) if needed to thin the icing.
- Enjoy! 🙂
