Sugar-Free Cinnamon Rolls Recipe The Ultimate Sweet Treat

Cinnamon rolls are low carb and make the perfect treat for dessert or breakfast. They help a lot with sweet cravings as well. My daughter introduced me to a recipe for Cinnabon, and they were amazing! My daughter even created a spin on them and made them sugar free. I was then able to recreate my daughter’s delicious creation and was extremely happy with the results. I was then able to adopt a healthier lifestyle and was so proud.

So, I got the idea of trying my favorite sugar substitute to create a sugar-free cinnamon roll recipe. I wanted to make these low-carb. I tried every other type of flour I could find, such as coconut and almond, and even that fathead dough i keep hearing about but nothing really hit the mark. In the end, I settled on the idea to ditch the sugar and just embrace the carbs.

Even Mr. Picky himself, my husband, was amazed by these sugar-free cinnamon roll and how good they were. He thought they were just sugar rolls and went back to having them several times. That’s a win if I’ve ever seen one! I even opened my own business, and people beyond my husband love these rolls!

Low Carb Sugar-Free Cinnamon Rolls Recipe: Ingredient Notes

For the rolls

• Whole Milk: The sugar present in the milk helps nourish the yeast in the absence of sugar. Substitution: Can also use warm water but add a teaspoon of real honey.

• Eggs: Not only do they add moisture and richness to the dough but also add to the texture of the rolls overall. Substitution: I have not tried any egg substitutes for this recipe.

• Butter: Adds to the texture and taste of the rolls. Substitution: I have not attempted any substitution.

• All-Purpose Flour: Gives the real bread texture. Substitution: Maybe gluten free flour if necessary.

• Pink Salt: Enhances taste and provides necessary minerals required on a keto diet. Substitution: Normal sea salt works but misses the mineral benefits.

• Monk Fruit Allulose Sweetener: Adds sweetness and does not have an aftertaste. Substitution: Any granulated keto sweetener works but allulose helps keep moisture.

• Active Dry Yeast: Adds a bread rise and real bread taste. Substitution: Instant yeast works but rising time has to be adjusted.

For the filling

Best Brown Sweetener: It has the appropriate texture as this one also has that traditional cinnamon roll flavor. Substitution: Any keto brown sugar substitute would work, although this one has the best taste, but the amount and final texture may differ.

Ground Cinnamon: Provides that traditional flavor. Substitution: Use the best fresh cinnamon you can find.

Softened Butter: Sticks the filling together as well as adds gooey texture. Substitution: Results will not come out the same if you do not use real butter.

For the frosting

Cream Cheese: Gives that rich, tangy flavor you want in the frosting. Substitution: Only if it’s full fat will the right consistency be achieved.

Butter: Gives added richness and flavor. Substitution: None

Powdered Sweetener: A smooth, lump-free frosting can only be achieved with this. Substitution: You have to use a powdered form of the sweetener of your choice.

Pink Salt: Needed minerals in a keto diet are complemented with flavor enhancement. Substitution: Lacks the mineral benefit.

Storage:

Room Temperature: You must store any leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container, tiny, room temperature, and none has to be served beyond two days. Ensure that they have entirely cooled, otherwise, they will be sealed in the container as moisture will build.

In the Refrigerator: Leftover cinnamon rolls can be kept for a slightly longer period, as long as they are stored in an airtight container, they can kept in the fridge for a week.

In the Freezer: If you want to keep them for an extended period, you can freeze. You must wrap each roll in plastic wrap, then put them in a container lined for the freezer. they will be stored for three entire months, as long as the date is written on the package you’ll be fine.

Reheating:

Microwave: If you want to reheat them, without removing their dampness, you can keep them in a container. Place the container in the microwave on a plate that is microwave safe, use a paper towel that is damp. You must microwave the cinnamon rolls for about 15 seconds in order to be warm, you can keep heating them for a longer time in order for the entire roll to be warm.

Oven: If you want the outside to be warm and firm, you need to heat the oven to 350. You must put the foil on the rolls to protect the rolls from the foil.to keep from the rolls being over brown. You can heat them for 15 minutes, or 5 minutes, and then check.

Air Fryer: Preheat an air fryer to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius). Put the basket in the air fryer, and set the timer for 5 to 8 minutes, checking often so as to not let the cinnamon rolls burn.

Top Tip

If you’re feeling adventurous, think about making double the amount of the recipe and stashing away a portion of the rolled, unbaked cinnamon rolls. Just store the rolls in a freezer-safe container or tightly wrap them in a layer of plastic wrap and foil. When the craving hits, these can be taken out the night before, placed in a refrigerator, and then you can bake them fresh in the morning for a wonderful breakfast!

FAQs

Can a different type of flour be used instead of all-purpose flour?

You could potentially do gluten-free all-purpose flour, but the all-purpose flour has produced the best results.

What can I do if my dough does not rise?

Your yeast might be expired, or it’s possible the liquid ingredients used are too hot, as higher temperatures can kill the yeast. If the dough still does not rise try placing the bowl in a warmer area.

Can I put nuts or other fillings in the cinnamon rolls?

For sure! For added flavor and texture, throw in a handful of chopped nuts, some sugar-free chocolate chips, or dried fruit.
