Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup granulated erythritol (or any other keto-friendly sweetener)
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to mix well.
- Add the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese to the bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Microwave for an additional 30 seconds and stir again until the cheese is fully melted and combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix well until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough into eight equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope, approximately 12 inches in length. Shape each rope into a pretzel shape and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the granulated erythritol and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
- Brush the melted butter over each pretzel, then sprinkle the cinnamon erythritol mixture evenly over the pretzels.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the pretzels are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the pretzels cool for a few minutes before serving.
