Delicious and festive Christmas Cinnamon Roll Fathead Dough Twists perfect for the holiday season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 oz cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup granulated erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
- 1 tbsp granulated erythritol (for topping)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat in 30-second intervals until the mixture is fully melted and combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, 2 teaspoons of erythritol, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the melted cheese mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a clean surface, sprinkle a little almond flour and roll out the dough into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.
- Brush the surface with melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining erythritol and cinnamon.
- Cut the dough into strips about 1 inch wide. Twist each strip and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- These twists can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
- For a festive touch, drizzle with a sugar-free icing made from powdered erythritol and a little water.
- For a sweeter twist, add a few chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling before twisting.
- You can also substitute pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon for a seasonal flavor variation.
