HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS WITH RAISINS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F
• Lightly spray a 8-9 inch circular cake pan or pie dish with nonstick cooking spray
• Melt butter in a small saucepan or in microwave and allow to cool slightly
• To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment, sift all the dry ingredients
• With the mixer on low, slowly pour in buttermilk, vanilla, and melted butter
• Let mixture knead for 2-3 minutes on medium speed until a smooth dough forms
• Turn dough out on to a lightly floured surface and knead for an additional 2-3 minutes adding a sprinkle of flour as needed, until dough is smooth and supple
• Let rest for 10 minutes while you prepare you filling
• For the filling, in a medium bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt
• Mix thoroughly until totally combined and set aside
• Add a light dusting of flour to your work surface and roll the dough out to approximately 13"x19" rectangle
• Using an offset spatula, evenly spread the filling over the dough, leaving a 1/2 border around the outside
• Starting at the edge closest to you, begin tightly rolling the dough into a pinwheel
• Lightly pinch the edge to the roll to seal shut
• Using a serrated knife, trim the very ends of both sides of the log off
• Cut the log into 9 equal portions and arrange in your baking pan, giving each roll a light press to flatten slightly
• Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and bake for an additional 18-20 minutes until lightly golden and gooey
• For the glaze, in a small bowl, add confectioners sugar and enough milk to reach desired consistency
• Allow rolls to cool slightly before topping with glaze

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F and grease an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, flaxseed, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt.
• Add in the eggs, cream, melted butter, vinegar, vanilla and water into the dry ingredients and whisk well until combined using a hand mixer. Rest for 5 minutes. The dough will be very sticky.
• While the dough rests, mix Cinnamon Filling ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• With oiled hands, shape the dough into a ball. Place the ball between 2 large pieces of parchment paper and roll it into a rectangle to desired thinness. Spread the cinnamon filling onto the dough, leaving a 1-inch margin at the top empty.
• Using the parchment as an aid, roll the dough (towards the empty inch) up into a tight log. Seal the edge with wet fingertips.
• Cut the log crosswise into 9 equal pieces and transfer rolls to the prepared round cake pan.
• Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes until golden brown. If necessary, cover loosely with foil to prevent burning.
• Meanwhile, make the frosting by combining cream cheese, butter and erythritol in a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to whip until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla and stevia; add cream 1 tablespoon at a time until a thick, spreadable icing comes together.
• Cool rolls before spreading frosting on them. Alternatively, you can spread frosting on immediately from the oven if you like more of a glaze.
• Best stored in an air tight container in the fridge up to 7 days or on the counter up to 2 days.
