Made with every low carber’s favorite dough, fathead dough, these keto cinnamon rolls are a perfect treat on a lazy weekend morning! Full of cinnamon and all the sweetness you remember from your carb laden days, with no guilt! 

One of my guilty pleasures was always cinnamon rolls. It started with going to the mall with friends, and grabbing a Cinnabon cinnamon roll. Or two. Maybe three. 

Oh, foolish girl I was back in my younger days. I wish I could go back and slap my hand and yell, “Put that down, you’re gonna regret it later.” However, it’s likely I wouldn’t have listened to me back then. 

Being on a keto diet has certainly helped me correct many of the mistakes of my past.  I have less inflammation in my joints, better control over my blood sugar, and blood pressure, and I feel better overall. The more I overcome and heal from the traumas that caused me to turn to food for comfort, the better overall the healing has been for me. 

However, I still like my comfort foods, like cinnamon rolls. 

Making these keto cinnamon rolls is really a game changer. 

What is fat head dough?

The base of these keto cinnamon rolls is fat head dough, a mixture of cheeses, almond flour, and egg. The best part of this dough is that you can make it into nearly anything you’d like. Savory or sweet, it’s a great base for nearly any baked item.

This was originally created by the documentary film maker, Tom Naughton. He came out with the documentary “Fat Head” as a response to Morgon Spurlock’s “Super Size Me. In this movie, Tom shows the evidence for reducing carbs in the diet for health. You can see it on Amazon Prime here. Totally worth it. 

Tips on making gluten free cinnamon rolls:

• The key to working with these keto cinnamon rolls is to push it out with wet hands. The dough can stick to your fingers otherwise, and make a mess. 
• Use brown sugar swerve and cinnamon to get that same bakery cinnamon roll flavor you are craving.
• This recipe makes 8 cinnamon rolls, but you can cut them smaller or larger, depending on your macros.
