Method

Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking dish with a parchment paper.
Make the Dough:
Mozzarella cheese and cream cheese are added in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat up 6090 seconds until liquefied, stir to mix.
Add Dry Ingredients:
To the mixture of cheese, add almond flour, baking powder, egg, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth dough is achieved (you can even have to knead it by hand).
Roll Out the Dough:
Put the dough between two layers of parchment and roll it into a rectangle (approximately 1/4 inch thick).
Prepare the Filling:
Stir butter, cinnamon and brown sugar substitute. Sprinkle the mixture all over the dough.
Form the Rolls:
Beginning at one long edge, roll the dough into a log with caution being taken. Let a sharp knife divide it into 8 equal parts.
Bake:
Prepare your baking dish and place the rolls in it and bake them 1820 minutes or until brown.
Prepare the Frosting:
During baking, the frosting tools should be combined until creamy. Add in a small slice of heavy cream, as necessary.
Cool and Frost:
Allow the buns to cool down to 5-10 minutes and spread the frosting all over the top.
Serve:
Eat hot with your favorite coffee or tea!
