Ingredients

For the Roll Ups:

  • 4 low-carb tortillas (almond flour or coconut flour based)

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 2 tbsp powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Cinnamon Coating:

  • 2 tbsp melted butter

  • 2 tbsp granular erythritol or monk fruit blend

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Filling

In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and spreadable.

Step 3: Assemble the Roll Ups

Lay out the tortillas and spread the cream cheese filling evenly across each one. Roll them up tightly like taquitos or wraps.

Step 4: Coat in Cinnamon Butter

In a shallow bowl, mix granular sweetener with cinnamon. Brush the rolled tortillas with melted butter on all sides, then roll them in the cinnamon mixture until fully coated.

Step 5: Bake Until Crispy

Place roll ups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. Let them cool for a few minutes—they’ll firm up more as they cool.
