I really enjoyed these cinnamon rolls. They are probably the best performing keto replacement I’ve made yet. They aren’t quite as good as the premade ones from the store, but it’s not even close to the sugar content.
I like to add nutmeg to the frosting and you can add cinnamon and ‘sugar’ to the dough. I would recommend powdered if possible, and in small amounts so the dough doesn’t change texture too much.
One of these times, I’m going to have to try to add some orange concentrate or zest to make orange rolls. The frosting is where you would be able to get the most personalization. This recipe makes a decent amount of frosting, but if it is too much, or too little, or too sweet, or not sweet enough, you can fiddle with it a bit.
This is a recipe that took many iterations to get correct. I took the ingredients from a recipe I found and used my bagel recipe as a benchmark for the amounts. The original tastes alright to me though my wife liked it, but the rolls were tiny.
