I confess I am a slightly lazy cook. I love easy recipes, and this Keto Cinnamon Roll Flatbread is no exception! It tastes just like cinnamon rolls without the hassle of extra ingredients or steps. It can be served with icing or without (I’ll share a super easy icing recipe with you later in the post) — either way, you’ll have a divine treat ready to eat in just over 20 minutes.

Ingredients Needed to Make Keto Cinnamon Roll Flatbread

Ingredient quantities are located in the recipe card at the end of the post.

Terrasoul Coconut Flour: Coconut flour is also frequently used in keto baked goods. This is a high-quality brand that I use in all of my recipes that call for coconut flour.

Swerve Confectioners Sugar Replacement: If you’re looking for a sugar substitute, you’ll love Swerve Confectioners! It uses (natural) sugar alcohols which have zero effect on blood sugar, meaning you can subtract them from the net carb count. (That gives Swerve zero net carbs.) It also measures just like sugar, so there isn’t any guessing about how much to use. I purchase the 48 oz. bags because they are convenient and a much better price per ounce than the 12 oz. bags.

Swerve Brown Sugar Replacement: This brown sugar alternative truly has the taste and texture of the real thing!

Kitzini Silicone Baking Mats: Silicone baking mats are my baking BFF — they make clean-up a breeze when baking! This is optional but highly recommended. (You can also use parchment paper.)

Other ingredients:

  • Mozzarella cheese (shredded, low-moisture part-skim — this type will give the best results, and it’s also the standard kind of shredded mozzarella cheese you buy at the store)
  • Cream cheese
  • Large eggs
  • Heavy whipping cream
  • Butter
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Cinnamon

How to Make Keto Cinnamon Roll Flatbread

This is just a quick overview of how to make the flatbread. For the recipe in detail, scroll to the recipe card at the end of the post.

Preheat oven line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone baking mat. TIP: I highly recommend using a silicone baking mat. Here is the silicone baking mat that I use.

Combine coconut flour, Swerve Confectioners, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.

In a larger, microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 45 seconds on high, then remove and stir. The mixture will not be fully combined at this point, but make sure to spread out the cream cheese as much as possible.

Return cheese and cream cheese to the microwave for another 45 seconds. Remove and stir again, fully combining the mixture as much as possible.

In another bowl, combine the eggs, whipping cream, and flour mixture. Then add the cream cheese/cheese mixture and knead with your hands until a dough forms. TIP: If the dough starts to stiffen, microwave again for a few seconds. (Note: The photos below are from my Keto Garlic Bread Flatbread; the dough for this bread is speckled with cinnamon, of course!)

Place it on your lined baking sheet and roll it out into a rectangle, then bake. Remove from oven and set aside so you can make your yummy topping.

Combine melted butter, Swerve Brown, Swerve Confectioners, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a bowl.

How to Make Easy Icing for Your Keto Cinnamon Roll Flatbread

The easiest icing ever for cinnamon rolls is a simple powdered sugar icing/glaze. Use these basic guidelines:

  • 1 cup Swerve Confectioners
  • 1-2 tbsp (depending on how thick you’d like your icing) unsweetened almond or coconut milk

Start by adding 1 tbsp milk. If you need more, add it slowly.

TIP: If you’d prefer a thicker icing, mix 1/4 cup butter with the Swerve Confectioners, then add the milk.

  • Combine coconut flour, Swerve Confectioners, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 45 seconds on high, then remove and stir. The mixture will not be fully combined at this point, but make sure to spread out the cream cheese as much as possible.
  • Return cheese and cream cheese to the microwave for another 45 seconds. Remove and stir again, fully combining the mixture.

  • Place it on your lined baking sheet and roll it out into a rectangle, 1/3” thick. (The best way to roll the dough out is to place a piece of wax paper - wax side down - or a non-stick silicone baking mat on top and then roll it with a rolling pin.)

Topping Instructions

  • Combine melted butter, Swerve Brown, Swerve Confectioners, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Brush on top of the bread, coating the entire surface.

Notes

The best way to roll the dough out is to place a piece of wax paper - wax side down - or non-stick silicone baking mat on top and then roll it with a rolling pin.

    Have you ever tried making it like real cinnamon rolls (rolling out square, brushing with cinnamon glaze, rolling up then slicing rolls THEN baking?) I am wondering if I can do that and not affect baking time.

    • Hi Vanessa! I haven’t yet — it’s on my to-do list. I will report back when I do! (If you happen to do it before I get to it, I’d love to hear how it goes. 🙂 )

    • Hi Briana!

      It can’t be substituted 1:1 since coconut flour is a lot denser than almond flour. Try using 3/4 cup almond flour and reduce the eggs from 2 down to 1.

    • Hi Darise! Yes, that would work too. The texture may be a bit grainier for the topping, but it will still taste delicious.

  • I’m new to Keto. I can’t use sugar substitutes because they give me vertigo. Can you use real
    Sugar and if so what would be the amount you substitute for it? Or would it be even worth it because it would be to high in carbs?
    Thanks for any help.

    Very dry and grainy. Half the butter brown sugar ran off the top. Would almond flour work better? Thought the egg and baking powder would have fluffed it up more. Regular keto flatbread is way better than this

    I’ve made this for a few brunches now and everyone has loved it. My suggestion is to use ALDI brand Mozzarella Cheese for the best results. I have discovered this thru trial-and-error on other Fathead dough recipes.

    • Hi Esther, I haven’t tried it with dairy alternatives so I can’t vouch for them. It would be worth an experiment though! If you try it, I would love to know how it turns out for you.

  • When I tried to roll out this “dough” things went terribly wrong and have the ingredients got stuck to the top parchment paper. Is this normal? This is my first time trying a keto baking recipe

    • Hi Larissa, I’m so sorry for the late reply and for the problem you experienced. It does tend to stick a bit more to parchment paper; I’ve updated the recipe to suggest using wax paper (wax side down) or a non-stick baking mat to make it easier to roll out.

  • This is so good. I wasn’t sure of pan size but used a smaller one and cut it in smaller pieces. So good. Thank you. These recipes help me not feel deprived and help me to want to stay the course.

    I served this low carb cinnamon flat bread for a family brunch as a dessert treat. Everyone really enjoyed it! I also found it to be really filling. What a great idea for a flatbread.

  • 5 stars
    This keto cinnamon rolls recipe was very delicious. I appreciate you modifying the fathead dough so we can use coconut flour instead of almond flour.

  • 5 stars
    Keto Cinnamon Roll Flatbread is very good and was simple for me to put together. I used a silicone baking mat and did not have any problems rolling out the dough. I did not put frosting on the flatbread because the cinnamon topping was so good I did not think it needed any additions.
