Fathead Pigs In A Blanket

I’ve actually had a version of these low carb cinnamon rolls on the blog for a couple years now, using ground macadamia nuts for the dough. But, I kept being asked over and over,

When I developed my Besti Brown Sweetener, low carb cinnamon rolls were the perfect candidate to put on the packaging — you’ll find the recipe on the back of the bag.

So, I incorporated this keto brown sugar into the cinnamon filling and re-worked the recipe to use almond flour. (Don’t worry, if you want to use macadamias like the old recipe did, you still can — see the FAQs below.)

Easy Keto Fathead Dough

The process for how to make keto cinnamon rolls is similar to fathead bagels and fathead pizza. So, be sure to check those recipes for tips on working with the fathead dough.

Keto Fathead Churros Baked Not Fried!

As mentioned before, I originally made this recipe using ground macadamia nuts (have you tried my chocolate keto fat bombs with them?) to form the dough, avoiding any kind of flour altogether.

But because most of you have almond flour on hand, and because macadamia nuts can be price-y, I updated the recipe to use a super fine almond flour instead.

If you would like to use macadamia nuts, you just need to pulse them in a food processor until they reach a fine flour consistency. You’ll need the same amount by volume as the almond flour before – 1 1/2 cups ground macadamia nuts, measured after they are finely ground. You can start with 2 cups of nuts and see if you need more after grinding.
