Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Blanched Almond Flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla whey protein (Jay Robb brand)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3 TBS butter, softened
  • 1 egg

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sift almond flour with whey and baking powder. Add the rest of the ingredients together until you have a smooth dough.

  2. Place a sheet of plastic wrap on counter, then spray with olive oil spray. Place dough on greased plastic, push the dough down a bit, and spray with another layer of olive oil. Top with another sheet of plastic wrap.

  3. Roll the dough out with a rolling pin until a long rectangle shape (9×12) or so. Then remove the top layer of plastic.

  4. Prepare the cinnamon filling:

  5. 3 TBS Butter, softened

  6. 3 TBS Cinnamon

  7. 3 TBS Truvia (or 3 TBS erythritol and 1/4 tsp stevia glycerite)

  8. (*I also added a TBS of vanilla whey to thicken it up)…totally optional

  9. Mix all ingredients together and spread evenly over the dough…make sure the top layer of plastic is off:)

  10. Roll up dough using the edge of the plastic to make a tight log. Cut into 2 inch pieces. Bake @ 350 for 8 minutes or until baked through (insert a toothpick to check doneness…the toothpick should come out clean).

  11. Top with cream cheese frosting:

  12. 6 TBS cream cheese, softened

  13. 3 TBS butter, softened

  14. 2 TBS Truvia (or 2 TBS erythritol and 1/4 tsp stevia glycerite)…or more, if you want a sweeter frosting:)

  15. A little almond milk (to thin it out, if desired)
