Description
Delicious Keto Scandinavian Cinnamon Almond Swirls that are perfect for a low-carb diet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup erythritol (or your favorite keto sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the filling:
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 2 tablespoons erythritol (or your favorite keto sweetener)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- For the optional glaze:
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon erythritol (or your favorite keto sweetener)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough feels overly sticky, gradually incorporate more almond flour until it is manageable.
- On a surface lightly dusted with almond flour, roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the almond butter across the dough, ensuring to leave a small margin around the edges. Evenly sprinkle the erythritol and cinnamon mixture over the almond butter layer.
- Starting from one end, roll the dough tightly into a log shape. Cut the log into pieces about 1 inch thick and arrange them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
- For the optional glaze, blend the softened cream cheese, almond milk, and erythritol until you achieve a smooth consistency. Drizzle this over the warm twists just before serving.
