The best low carb air fryer recipes are the ones that take classic, home-style comfort foods and convert them to simplified, modern recipes that don lose those nostalgic tastes. Don let the prep time scare you; you can prepare the cinnamon rolls in advance and simply pull them out of your freezer to bake whenever you want a special keto breakfast or dessert. Utilize the popular low-carb Fathead dough with a couple small alterations to make this sweet treat. Rolled up in the dough is layers of melted butter with extra cinnamon and keto-friendly sweetener. Even better, there is a thick, sweet, cream cheese frosting that piles up on top of each hot roll. Use Mexican vanilla in your frosting to enhance the cinnamon flavors, or your standard vanilla extract can work just as well. You can plop the icing over the rolls while they are still warm so they melt, or wait until the rolls cool longer for a thick bite full of sweetness. Jessica L. So many recipes in the keto diet are easy to prepare ahead of time, making it easier to stick to your diet throughout the week. For this cinnamon roll recipe, you can prepare multiple portions of Fathead dough and freeze it in batches. You can go another step further by assembling, rolling, and cutting the cinnamon rolls and then freezing them individually. Then, when you want to have fresh keto air fryer cinnamon rolls in the morning, you can thaw your rolls in the refrigerator overnight, leave them at room temp for 5 minutes, then bake away. You can also prepare the cream cheese icing 1 night before you want to bake by storing the icing in your refrigerator. Depending on how strict your personal keto or low carb diet is, some would consider certain vanilla extracts to be more keto-friendly than others. Why is this? The typical vanilla extract you would buy in your baking aisle is processed with alcohol (you would be surprised by the amount of people who have tried to get a buzz from drinking vanilla extract)! Although most baking recipes use less than a teaspoon of vanilla extract, you may become very sensitive to even small amounts of alcohol in your dessert when on the keto diet. If you want to avoid this issue, make sure to look for an alcohol-free extract next time you re at the store.

This delicious Keto Christmas recipe is somewhere between millionaires shortbread and Christmas crack. A toasted and spiced biscuit base is topped with sweet caramel then finished with a layer of pecan and cranberry studded chocolate. Our ultimate Keto Christmas candy makes a decadent treat for the festive season or can be enjoyed as your post-dinner dessert! Our sweet Keto Christmas recipe is made up of 3 delicious low carb layers. As some of the layers contain the same ingredients as other layers, we have listed the ingredients in order of use within the recipe for simplicity. Once you have baked the base layer, this is smothered with a sweet low carb caramel and frozen to set. Once set, this is topped with a dark chocolate layer and returned to the freezer. Once the candy is completely firm, it will need to be stored in the fridge in an airtight container. If serving straight from the freezer, allow to stand and thaw a little before serving. We have added chopped cranberries to the top of our Keto Christmas candy. When used sparingly, dried cranberries may be consumed in moderation as part of a low carb diet. If you would like to reduce the carb count of the recipe, you can omit the cranberries and pecans and opt for a plain chocolate topping. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the recipe.
