Description

Enjoy these Crispy Keto Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll Ups, a guilt-free low-carb treat perfect for breakfast or a snack. Soft low-carb tortillas are filled with a smooth cinnamon-infused cream cheese mixture, then coated in a crunchy almond and cheese crust, seared to golden perfection, and baked until tender and flavorful. With the perfect balance of creamy and crispy textures, these roll-ups deliver a warm, comforting flavor while keeping carbs low.


Ingredients

Tortillas and Butter

  • 8 low-carb tortillas (8-inch)
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)

Coating Mix

  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • ¼ cup crushed pork rinds (optional, for extra crunch)


Instructions

  1. Butter the tortillas: Lay the low-carb tortillas on a clean work surface and brush each side lightly with the melted butter. This adds flavor and helps the filling adhere without tearing the tortilla.
  2. Prepare the cinnamon cream cheese spread: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and erythritol. Whisk until the mixture is smooth, uniformly flavored, and free of lumps.
  3. Assemble the roll-ups: Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon cream cheese mixture evenly over each buttered tortilla, leaving a half-inch border. Starting at one edge, roll the tortilla tightly like a jelly roll and seal the end by pressing the buttered side.
  4. Coat with egg and almond-cheese mixture: Dip each roll-up into the beaten eggs, turning to coat all sides. Then roll the egg-coated cylinders in the mixture of almond flour, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and optional crushed pork rinds. Press gently so the coating adheres evenly.
  5. Sear and finish in the oven: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. When foamy, place the roll-ups seam-side down and cook 2-3 minutes per side until the crust is deep golden and crackly. Transfer the skillet to a pre-heated 375°F oven and bake 8-10 minutes to finish cooking the interior.
  6. Rest, slice and serve: Remove the roll-ups from the heat and let them rest for 3 minutes. Slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels, dust with a pinch of extra cinnamon if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use low-carb tortillas to keep the recipe keto-friendly.
  • Crushed pork rinds are optional but add an extra crunchy texture to the coating.
  • You can substitute erythritol with any keto-friendly sweetener of your choice.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
