# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch round baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
02 - Combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until melted and smooth.
03 - Whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
04 - Add melted cheese mixture and eggs to dry ingredients. Mix with spatula until dough forms. Lightly oil hands if dough is sticky.
05 - Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
06 - Mix erythritol, cinnamon, and melted butter. Spread evenly over rolled dough.
07 - Use parchment paper to gently roll dough into a log from the long side. Slice into 8 equal pieces.
08 - Arrange buns cut-side up in prepared pan. Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden and set.
09 - Beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered erythritol, and vanilla. Add almond milk as needed for spreadable consistency.
10 - Remove buns from oven and cool for 10 minutes. Spread icing over warm buns before serving.

02 -
  • The dough will be extremely sticky, so do not skip oiling your hands or using parchment paper
  • Letting the buns cool for 10 minutes before icing prevents the icing from sliding right off
03 -
  • Use unflavored whey protein powder in the dough for extra protein and structure
  • Warm your cream cheese slightly before making the icing to avoid lumps
