Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, combine the granulated erythritol and ground cinnamon.
3. Brush Tortillas: Brush both sides of the tortillas with melted butter.
4. Apply Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sweetener mixture evenly over one side of each tortilla.
5. Roll Tortillas: Roll the tortillas tightly from one end to the other. Use a sharp knife to cut each roll into 1-inch pieces.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled pieces cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy.
8. Prepare Glaze (Optional): While the rolls are baking, mix powdered erythritol, heavy cream, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust cream to reach desired consistency.
9. Cool and Glaze: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before drizzling with the glaze if using.
10. Serve: Enjoy the rolls warm or at room temperature.

Storage Methods

• Refrigeration: Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
• Freezing: To freeze, let the rolls cool completely. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.

Variations

1. Nut Flavors: Add finely chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the cinnamon-sweetener mixture for added crunch.
2. Cream Cheese Filling: Spread a thin layer of keto-friendly cream cheese on the tortillas before adding the cinnamon mixture for a creamy twist.
3. Different Spices: Experiment with other spices like nutmeg or cardamom for varied flavors.
4. Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle with melted keto-friendly chocolate instead of or in addition to the glaze for a chocolatey touch.
