22. Keto Breakfast Cinnamon Rolls with Almond Flour and Cream Cheese Frosting

This is a soft and sweet recipe that you can make with some almond flour and cream cheese frosting. 

You can use any cream cheese that you like, such as regular, light, or vegan. You can also use any keto-friendly sweetener that you like, such as erythritol, stevia, monk fruit, etc. 

The key is to make a dough with some almond flour, butter, eggs, baking powder, and sweetener, and then roll it out into a rectangle. 

You can then spread some butter, cinnamon, and sweetener over the dough, and roll it up into a log. You can then cut the log into slices, and place them in a baking dish. You can then bake the rolls in the oven, until golden and cooked through. 

You can then make a frosting with some cream cheese, butter, sweetener, and vanilla, and drizzle it over the rolls. 

You can serve the rolls as they are, or with some nuts, for some extra fat and protein.
