Who says you can’t have it all? These Sugar-Free Maple Cinnamon Rolls with Bacon are the ultimate indulgence without the guilt.
Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl or stand mixer
- silicone spoon or wooden spoon
Ingredients
For the rolls:
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter melted
- 4 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp pink salt
- ½ cup Besti Monk fruit and Allulose Sweetener
- 1 envelope active dry yeast
For the filling:
- 1 cup Besti Brown Sweetener packed
- 2 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 tbsp bacon fat
- 5 slices of crispy bacon crumbled or chopped.
For the frosting:
- 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 3 tbsp Wholesome Yum Sugar-Free Maple Syrup
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Besti Monk Fruit and Allulose Powdered Sweetener
- 2 to 3 slices of crispy bacon crumbled or chopped
Instructions
- Dissolve the yeast in the warm milk in a large bowl.
- Mix in the sweetener, butter, salt, and eggs.
- Add the flour in quarters and mix well. It will get a little stiff, but keep at it until it’s well mixed! If it becomes too difficult to mix, dust your hands with flour and finish mixing by hand.
- Knead the dough for several minutes and shape into a large ball.
- Spray the bowl with avocado or olive oil and return the dough to the bowl.
- Cover it with a clean dishcloth and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Roll the dough into a large rectangle (Make sure not to roll it too thin, or it will rip when you roll it up).
- Combine the butter and bacon fat, if using. Spread the dough with the butter mixture and sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture and crumbled bacon.
- Roll the dough up and cut into 10 rolls (you can discard the two end bits). This will leave you with 8 good-sized rolls.
- Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about thirty minutes.
- Bake rolls in a preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While the rolls are baking, beat together the ingredients for the frosting. Spread or drizzle it on warm rolls and top with bacon crumbles before serving.
