Low Carb Cinnamon Rolls versus a Mug Muffin

Pick out your favorite mug and snuggle up with this Keto Cinnamon Roll Mug Cake.

All the flavors of your favorite cinnamon roll in one easy 1-minute keto mug cake. Single serve and ready in just 1 minute, it’s the perfect low carb dessert for when time is short, and you want a treat fast!

Traditional cinnamon rolls are loaded with sugar and high in carbs which will not serve you when on a ketogenic diet or low carb diet and looking to lose weight. Not to mention the time involved to make homemade cinnamon rolls is extensive, even keto cinnamon rolls are a lot of work.

Plus if you are trying to lose weight, having an entire batch of cinnamon rolls hanging around might not be a good idea as overeating might happen.

A typical mug cake also has sugar and is high carb, but turning it into a yummy keto cinnamon roll mug cake is a great way to enjoy an easy dessert with little time and effort.

This keto cinnamon mug cake obviously doesn't have the same texture as regular cinnamon rolls, but it is a delicious moist cinnamon roll mug cake with very low carbs.

Ingredients

Cinnamon Roll

almond flour

golden erythritol (Swerve brand)

ground cinnamon

baking powder

melted butter

large egg

Frosting

cream cheese

softened butter

Swerve confectioners sweetener

Optional: ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Add all the cinnamon roll dry ingredients to a greased mug and stir with a spoon to combine. Add the melted butter and egg and mix until smooth.

In a separate small bowl, mix the icing mixture ingredients together (cream cheese, butter and powdered sweetener). Adjust the amount of sweetener to taste. Set aside.

Microwave the cinnamon roll on high for 60 - 90 seconds until just set and golden brown. Mine took 60 seconds in a 900W microwave.

Spread the cream cheese icing on the top of the cake and if it's a little too thick, feel free to add in a small amount of milk of choice to thin it out. Coconut milk or almond milk will work great. You could also top with sugar free maple syrup if you like!

Storage: Best served fresh, but you can cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
