Ingredients of Keto Cinnamon Rolls

1.  Coconut Flour

From coconut flesh, coconut flour is made into a powdery, very fine flour. Coconutty flavour works well in most desserts, which is why it is most commonly used. Besides almond flour, it's one of the most popular and most frequently used keto flours.

For this recipe, we’re going to use 2 tbsp coconut flour that has 4 grams of net carbs, keeping in mind that the recipe is keto-friendly.

1. Powdered Erythritol

The natural sweetener erythritol is a sugar substitute without causing an increase in blood sugar. With this keto powdered sugar replacement you can bake, taste, and have the same effects as powdered sugar.

Erythritol is a natural sweetener with no calories, no carbs, or glycemic index. So, you don’t have to worry about your diet.

1. Mozzarella Cheese

It's a great keto cheese to keep in the fridge because it can be used in a lot of different recipes or eaten as a snack by itself.

Its nutritional qualities of high fat and low carbs make cheese an excellent choice for ketogenic diets.
