Ingredients
  

For the dough
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon plus extra for sprinkling
For the filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon erythritol or preferred sugar substitute
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For frying
  • Coconut oil or butter for frying

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix well.
  2. In another bowl, beat the eggs until well blended, then add them to the dry ingredients.
  3. Mix everything until a dough forms. If it's too crumbly, add a little water, one tablespoon at a time.
  4. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll into a thin rectangle.
  5. In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, erythritol, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  6. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the rolled dough, then sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top.
  7. Carefully roll the dough into a log, making sure to keep the filling contained.
  8. Cut the log into bite-sized pieces.
Cooking
  1. Heat coconut oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Fry each roll until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. Let them cool slightly, sprinkle with sugar-free powdered erythritol if desired, and serve warm!

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to one month. To reheat, heat in a toaster oven for 5 minutes or in a skillet over low heat.
