I’ve been trying to make coconut flour cinnamon rolls forever! Coconut flour alone isn’t enough to create a moldable dough that can be used like other flours. Instead, I turned to using coconut flour fathead dough. (Fathead dough makes a lot of things possible – including coconut flour pizza crust!)

I love fathead dough and I used it to create these Keto Cinnamon Rolls. I use my coconut flour fathead dough recipe except, for this recipe I increased the amount of coconut flour to help the cinnamon rolls hold their shape better.

Fathead dough is so much fun to use. It feels like a real dough and you can fold it and roll it just like regular dough.

This recipe for keto cinnamon rolls uses only mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, coconut flour (you can also make your own coconut flour), eggs, and some sweetener. The cinnamon rolls end up being on the small side because the dough doesn’t rise.

I included a simple cream cheese frosting recipe that is quick to whip together. You can use your favorite cream cheese frosting recipe instead or a glaze.

Keto Cinnamon Rolls Ingredients

For the dough, you’ll only need mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, coconut flour (you can also make your own coconut flour), eggs, and some sweetener. The cinnamon rolls end up being on the small side because the dough doesn’t rise.

The filling is also quite simple – golden erythritol (I used Lakanto), ground cinnamon (of course!), and coconut oil (which you can easily make at home – or if you’re going to buy, get the best coconut oil)

For the cream cheese frosting, you’ll just need:

4 oz cream cheese (half of the package)
¼ cup powdered erythritol blend
½ tsp vanilla extract

How To Make Keto Cinnamon Rolls

To make the cinnamon rolls you simply melt the cheese and cream cheese together.

Mix the flour mixture together. Then combine the two into a dough.

For these keto cinnamon rolls, the fathead dough is only slightly sticky. I greased the area I was spreading the dough on to avoid sticking. You can grease your hands to help the dough not stick to your fingers.
