I recently went down a delicious path of “perfecting” a cinnamon roll recipe. My mother has celiacs, my sister and her husband are low-carb, and I have been anti-gluten and most grains for some years now. I was tested for celiacs, and it came back negative, but I have alway noticed how negatively my body reacts to grains and sugar, so I try to avoid them for most of the year. Mainly, I’ve noticed how they send me into a depressive state. That never means good things for my over-all health. So I decided to perfect a recipe that my sister had previously tried. I just wanted to see if I could improve upon it. I think I have. Today I’ll share the recipe with you, and review a homeopathic antacid as well! Multi-tasking!

A Starting Point

As I said, my sister had previously made Fathead dough cinnamon rolls, via this recipe, for our family. For those of you who don’t know what fathead dough is, it’s a huge craze in the Keto community of creating bread foods using cheese. That’s right, CHEESE. It’s crazy, and that’s probably why I like it, but it’s incredible. I make a mean fathead dough bagel dog.

ANYWAY, the original cinnamon roll recipe was pretty good to me. Again, I TRY not to eat a lot of sugar, so I’m also more sensitive to sugar. When I eat a “mainstream” dessert, I often only taste the sugar, instead of the flavors of the food. Some people might love that, but it’s almost always let down to me. This basically means I don’t need things to be as sweet as other people might, so I enjoy these alternatives.

Making it My Own

This year I started thinking about cinnamon rolls around Thanksgiving. I wanted to make something for the boys, but I don’t keep “normal” baking supplies on hand since we don’t use those ingredients. I asked my sister for her recipe and made a batch. I immediately upped the cinnamon, by a factor of six. I love me some cinnamon. From there I made another batch the following week. I was loving the extra cinnamon, and wondered how else I might improve on the original recipe.

I did some research, because I wanted to try to get them to fluff up more. Fathead dough is a bit on the dense side, especially this recipe. I poured over forums, similar recipes, and various blogs. I found several theories to test. I proceeded to make 5 cinnamon roll batches in a week. That’s a lot of cinnamon rolls, Especially when my last few batches finally decided to fluff up to over twice the previous size.

Mission Accomplished.

Boiron Acidil Meltaway Tablets

Recently, I was given a free sample of Boiron Acidil Meltaway Tablets via my partnership with MomsMeet. Boiron is a homeopathic medicine company that started back in 1932 and Acidil is an antacid (for relieving heartburn, acid indigestion, upset stomach, and bloating).

It’s considered an “unflavored” tablet. I would say this mostly right, it’s more of a consistency than a flavor. It’s a bit chalky, but the tablet is pretty small, so it didn’t bother me one bit. I’m also use to their other products, ColdCalm, Camilla, and Oscillococcinum, so I know of the minimal flavoring, and the sometimes interesting textures.  Again, not off-putting to me, but if you’re sensitive to textures or tastes, maybe it’s not for you.

I don’t get a lot of heartburn, but the holiday season is ripe for overeating and needing something to help you feel better. The Acidil comes in little foil sealed sheets of pills, like many medicines these days. I popped one out to try one day when I had actually eaten some gluten AND sugar. GASP! I know, what was I doing. Like I said, I try to limit them for MOST of the year. It actually felt like it helped with the upset stomach and bloating that usually occur when I do, regretfully, eat much of either. And you can even take it BEFORE the meal to help minimize the effects of the trigger foods.

Conclusion

I honestly don’t know that it’s better or worse than any other antacid. It definitely did it’s job for me over the past few weeks, but that was simply my experience. I would recommend it to anyone to test out and see if it works for them, and I plan to keep it in the house from now on.

Holly’s Fathead Cinnamon Rolls

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Prep Time 10 minutes mins

Cook Time 20 minutes mins

Course Dessert

Servings 12

Equipment

• mixing bowl
• microwave
• Rolling Pin
• parchment paper
• brush

Ingredients

  

Dough:

• 270 g Mozzarella cheese
• 42 g Cream cheese
• 126 g Almond Flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp Baking powder
• 1 tsp Instant yeast
• 1 egg

FIlling:

• 4 tbsp Butter, Melted
• 4 tbsp cinnamon
• 4 tbsp Granulated sweetener of choice (I used Monkfruit)
• 3-5 drops liquid sweetener (optional)
• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

For the Dough:

• In a small bowl, combine your almond flour, salt, baking powder (or soda), and yeast. Mix gently.
• In a microwave safe bowl, add the mozzarella and cream cheese. Place in the microwave for 60 seconds. Remove, stir gently, and then return to the microwave for another 30 seconds.
• Remove the mixture from the microwave. Stir in the almond flour mixture. The dough may become thick and difficult to stir. I always mix with my hands, which WILL get pretty sticky. CAUTION: the dough will be pretty toasty!
• Add in the egg and vanilla (and the ACV, if using baking SODA). Knead with hands until the mixture forms a consistent dough.
• Place a sheet of parchment paper on a flat working surface. Plop the dough not the parchment paper. Place another sheet of parchment paper over the top.
• Roll the dough out with a rolling pin on top of the top sheet of parchment paper. Roll to about ¼ inch thick. If desired, slice off parts of the top and bottom to add to the sides to create a more uniform rectangle shape of dough.

For the FIlling:

• Mix the butter, powdered sweetener, liquid sweetener, cinnamon, and salt together in a small bowl. Spread evenly over the rolled out dough using a brush.
• If desired, you can mix the butter and liquid sweetener together and then sprinkle the dry ingredients on, but I prefer to mix it all together.
• Use the edge of the bottom parchment paper to gently pull up one of the long sides of the dough.
• Roll the bottom of the dough up and then continue rolling until you've used all of the dough.
• Slice the dough into equal sized 12 pieces.
• Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Check at 15 minutes.
• Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool.
• Serve and enjoy!
