With a crispy exterior and a sweet, creamy cinnamon filling, these roll-ups will satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping your diet on track.

Ingredients:

4 large low-carb tortillas

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons powdered erythritol (or your favorite keto-friendly sweetener)

1 tablespoon cinnamon

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Additional powdered erythritol and cinnamon for coating

Directions:

Preheat Oven:

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:

In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, powdered erythritol, and cinnamon. Mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Assemble the Roll-Ups:

Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, then roll the tortillas up tightly.

Brush with Butter and Coat:

Brush the melted butter over each roll-up. In a separate bowl, mix together additional powdered erythritol and cinnamon. Roll the buttered tortillas in the cinnamon-erythritol mixture until fully coated.

Bake:

Place the roll-ups on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy.

Serve:

Allow the roll-ups to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these crispy, cinnamon-kissed treats warm or at room temperature!

Serving Tips:

Warm or Room Temperature: These roll-ups are best served warm, but they can also be enjoyed at room temperature. Reheating slightly in the oven can restore their crispiness.

Dipping Sauces: Pair your roll-ups with sugar-free syrup, whipped cream, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for a delightful contrast of flavors.

Garnish: For added visual appeal, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon or a dusting of powdered erythritol on top before serving.

Accompaniments: Serve alongside fresh berries or a small side of nuts to add a refreshing or crunchy element to your meal.

Storage Tips:

Refrigeration: Store any leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will help maintain their flavor and prevent them from drying out.

Freezing: If you want to make these roll-ups ahead of time, you can freeze them. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag. They can be frozen for up to 1 month.

Reheating: When ready to enjoy, reheat the roll-ups in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to restore their crispy texture. You can also use the microwave for quicker reheating, but this may result in a softer texture.

Avoid Overcrowding: If you’re storing multiple roll-ups, avoid stacking them directly on top of each other to prevent them from becoming soggy. Use parchment paper to separate layers if needed.

How can I make these roll-ups dairy-free?
