You can use your choice of sweeteners in this cinnamon roll recipe. I usually make it with erythritol and a touch of stevia to keep it low carb, but any sweetener (even sugar) will work in the same proportions.
There are two ways to make double cinnamon rolls – in the microwave or in the oven. I find it easiest to just make one as needed in the microwave, but if you prefer to use an oven you’ll find instructions at the end. And a special thanks to Amy for the inspiration!

Author: Patti @ Blossoms and Posies
Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 1
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon sweetener
- ¼ cup almond meal (you can use almond flour too, but almond meal gives it the perfect consistency)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 egg yolk
- dash salt
- 3 Tablespoons sweetener
- 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 oz cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon cream
Instructions
- Melt butter in mug in microwave (or on stovetop).
- Add sweetener, almond flour, vanilla, egg yolk, baking soda and salt to mug.
- Stir vigorously and set aside.
- To make cinnamon "sugar": in small bowl combine 3 T sweetener and 1 T cinnamon (this makes enough for two cinnamon rolls)
- Use a knife to create swirls and gaps in the batter in the mug (don't worry if it looks messy,) then sprinkle 2 teaspoons of cinnamon "sugar" over it all.
- Microwave mug for one minute.
- To make the icing: in another mug, soften 1 oz of cream cheese by microwaving for 5-1o seconds. Stir in 1 Tablespoon of cinnamon "sugar" and 1 teaspoon of cream and beat until smooth.
- Put cinnamon roll on plate and drizzle icing over top and serve.
- To make in the oven, use a lightly greased or lined muffin tin (for regular-sized muffins) placing one serving per hole. Bake in 350° oven until light brown. Drizzle icing then serve.
