When you crave a gooey, buttery cinnamon roll but don’t want to make a whole batch of keto cinnamon rolls and have leftovers, just make one! This single serve recipe features a soft, fluffy gluten free bread enveloping a cinnamon infused buttery filling and topped with creamy cream cheese frosting.

Even though the dough doesn’t use traditional flour or an egg, it is still fluffy and pillowy soft. The combination of the almond flour, egg white powder, xanthan gum and sour cream help to cream a texture and flavor that you would find in a bakery.

For the cinnamon center, a blend of melted butter, brown sugar-free sweetener and ground cinnamon creates the perfect sticky filling that ooze out with each bite. Baking one cinnamon roll is easy when you use a ramekin. As the pastry bakes, it spreads up against the sides of the ramekin to help keep it’s shape, height and allows it to puff up more without spreading flat.

Finish the roll with a generous spread of cream cheese frosting. Now you are ready for a quick, comfort food satisfaction in less than 25 minutes!

Substitutions

There are a few ingredient swaps you can make for this sugar free cinnamon roll recipe.

  • Almond flour – I haven’t experiment with other keto flours. You can try using sunflower seed flour which substitutes 1:1 with almond flour. This is a nut free option.
  • Sweeteners – You can use brown sugar-free sweetener in the bread dough if you didn’t want to buy multiple sweeteners.
  • Butter – For a dairy free option use coconut oil instead of butter.
  • Sour cream – Sour cream provides moisture and flavor. As a substitute yogurt or dairy free yogurt could be used.

Keto Cinnamon Roll for One: FAQS

Can I replace the egg white protein powder with an egg white?

Yes, you can use one egg white instead of using the egg white powder; however, you will need to omit the water in the recipe and you might have to add more almond flour since the egg white has more moisture compared to using the egg white protein powder. Add enough almond flour to where your dough is tacky but not overly sticking that it won't lift from the parchment paper.

What roll does xanthan gum play in this recipe? Can I omit it?

Xanthan gum is added for structure and support in the dough. It will help the dough keep it shape and keep it from sticking to the parchment paper. If you use an egg white, you might be able to omit the xanthan gum. Just add extra almond flour to keep the dough from getting too sticky.
