- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for texture)

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, powdered erythritol, baking powder, xanthan gum (if using), and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, powdered erythritol, and ground cinnamon for the filling. Spread this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
- Carefully roll up the dough into a log, using the parchment paper to help you. Slice the log into 8 equal-sized cinnamon rolls.
- Place the cinnamon rolls in the greased baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they’re lightly golden.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting by mixing the softened cream cheese, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once the cinnamon rolls are done, let them cool slightly before drizzling the cream cheese frosting on top.
